The risk
The fuel return pipe is insufficiently designed against chemicals, paints, soap or fats used by bodywork manufacturers or in cleaning. The chemicals cause the hoses to swell, which could cause them to break free of their connection, causing fuel to leak out. In the worst case, a fire could occur.
