Summary

Description
English: Restriction in fuel supply can cause excessively low pressure and gas bubbles on inlet side of high pressure fuel pumps. These bubbles collapse on the high pressure side, damaging the outlet ports. This type of damage was an early finding in the investigation into the crash of BA 38.
