The main engine fuel pumping system will become affected by release of entrained air and near idle (low absolute fuel pressure) by fuel vapour creation at one of the pressure steps after the HP pump - probably creating striated flow after the HP SOV. The first symptom may be noisy display of FF, in extremis, the engine will run down.
There may be other (aircraft) sub-systems affected.
