FUEL TANK HAS BRASS INSERTS IN BLIND HOLES TO ACCOMMODATE FASTENING OF FUEL PUMP WITH O-RING SEAL BETWEEN FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK. THESE BRASS INSERTS WILL LOOSEN IN BLIND HOLE OF FUEL TANK AND CAUSE A LEAK DUE TO LACK OF COMPRESSION OF O-RING.

POOR DESIGN OF FUEL TANK/FUEL PUMP CONNECTION WILL CAUSE FUEL LEAK, ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. CONSEQUENCE - POSSIBLE FUEL FIRE, EXPLOSION! FUEL TANK HAS BRASS INSERTS IN BLIND HOLES TO ACCOMMODATE FASTENING OF FUEL PUMP WITH O-RING SEAL BETWEEN FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK. GOOD IDEA BUT VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS DESIGN. THESE BRASS INSERTS WILL LOOSEN IN BLIND HOLE OF FUEL TANK AND CAUSE A LEAK DUE TO LACK OF COMPRESSION OF O-RING. DON'T KNOW EXACT REASON FOR LOOSENING, POSSIBLY EXPANSION/CONTRACTION FROM TEMPERATURE CHANGES, LOW TO HIGH ELEVATION CHANGES OR JUST PLAIN OLD VIBRATION AND FATIGUE. WHATEVER THE CAUSE, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND HEALTH, NOT TO ME
