If the fuel pipe is blocked, the internal pressure of the fuel tank can rise depending on the driving condition. If this occurs, the fuel tank may be deformed, and in the worst case, the tank and the propeller shaft could interfere with each other damaging the tank, which could allow fuel to leak and cause a fire.
