The risk

The car poses a risk of injury because water present in fuel pump connector at time of connection of the harness coupler causes rapid corrosion of the pump electrical terminals. In such a case, the pump terminal fails and the fuel pump stops so the car engine does not start. If the vehicle is in motion when this happens, the motor engine will stop abruptly, yielding an increased danger of a car accident. The rapidity and the probability of the corrosion depend on the temperature and the humidity of the atmosphere. The higher the values of these two parameters are, the more rapidly the corrosion will occur. The high quantity of electrical charges accelerates the corrosion. The corrosion is not easily noticed by eye, since the terminals are covered with plastic cover. If the corrosion is not perceived in time, the car engine stops abruptly, since the pump fails to provide fuel to the engine.
