cable sawing away at the hose, it all gets very congested in the tunnel between
the seats. Where the hose goes in and out of the seat pan, there can only
be a 6 mm gap between the hoses and the cables. This is where the cable has
cut into the hose as the hose goes into a tee for one leg to the engine (fuel
bleed off return) - one to the rear mounted drain and the third leg to the tank
outlet connection. It was the last one that had the hole.
