After assembling an engine and discovering one of the vibration-insulating high-pressure fuel line clamps was missing, two technicians discussed potential consequences of the clamp remaining missing from the injector line. Technician A says that the line will crack due to vibration caused by pressure pulses. Technician B says that a single missing clamp on thick-walled steel lines will have no effect on the line. Who is correct?
A)Technician A
B)Technician B
C)Both A and B
D)Neither A nor B
