Yes, I can visualise the oil squirting out of the pipe fitting, but how does the fuel arrive in the bearing housing?

Ah, Sorry, I think I have misunderstood again. Are you suggesting that the oil mist from the bearing housing finds its way into the combustion chamber and thus upsets the engine control system? To such an extent that rotor integrity is compromised?

No oil fire in bearing housing, then?
