Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
A fire ignited in the right engine on the landing roll. The fire source was near the point where the fuel supply line connects to the engine driven fuel pump. The acft was on its first revenue flight after the right engine was changed, atwhich time the flexible fuel & oil hoses were not changed. Part of the fuel hose was hardened & two cracks were found inthe rubber liner. Fuel streamed from the line when the boost pump was activated. It was determined that the 'b' nut at the fuel pump may not have been securely tightened at the installation.
