I once had a problem flying a Jetstream 31 many moons ago. The J31 has engines that are essentially the same as the Metro ones (TPE 331's).

Anyway, the fuel pipe between the fuel pump and the FCU fractured at the union and sprayed fuel all over the hot bit of the engine. Guess what happened next... luckily we were on the ground.
