The risk
In the fuel filter, the resin moulding surrounding the O-ring of the water level sensor is unsuitable, causing insufficient compression of the ring. This means that when the engine is started at low outside temperatures, the fuel might leak into the sensor and then out through the ventilation hole. This could lead to a fire.
