Unsubstantiated post on Av Herald:
According to maintenance, they had a line rupture between the fuel pumps and the FCU.
Wouldn't that stop the engine as well?
Unless someone is being liberal with their English, I cannot see how a "rupture" between the fuel pumps and the FCU would mean anything other than the engine stopping immediately. Look at the rate of that leak. It's absolutely out, even at Idle.
