Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that fuel lines should be kept away from heat sources to avoid vapor lock, a condition where fuel vaporizes within the fuel line before reaching the engine, causing the engine to stall or run poorly. Technician B is correct in advising that fuel filters should be positioned where they can be cooled by air, as this helps in maintaining the fuel at a lower temperature, reducing the risk of vapor lock and ensuring the fuel system operates efficiently.
