What was found

FUEL STARTED SEEPING AROUND FITTING. ALUMINUM FITTINGS WERE USED IN ALUMINUM HOUSING. NO PIPE TAPE USED AND MINIMUM PIPE LUBRICATION. ON REMOVAL, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TELL IF FITTING WAS STRIPPED ON INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL. HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO SAFETY WIRES USED ON FITTING OR PLUG.
