R4H,
I seem to recall at least one instance of a FJ removing the basket. This would result in the hose rewinding at high speed. There were systems in place to slow the hose down but if it happened then the drill was for the ALM to evacuate the lookout postion ASAP. This was because a flailing hose spewing fuel in the cargo compartment was not conducive to his continued good health. It was suggested that cowering between the front and rear tanks was the best option.
