Fuel leak blamed for Nimrod disaster
They concluded that the fuel was safely delivered from the tanker via the refuelling probe above the Nimrod’s cockpit.
It was then pumped down the fuel line to where a computerised control box steadies its flow into the tanks in the wings.
The fuel line that fractured is believed to be somewhere near the control unit in the bottom of the fuselage. ”

Wow that computer is good.... What the Hell..... load of rubbish
