What happens if you have a bad fuel line?
If any of the hoses break down, dry up, or wear out enough they will leak fuel. A leaky fuel line will produce either drips, or in more serious cases puddles of fuel underneath the vehicle. A leaky fuel line will also cause a drop in fuel pressure, which can compromise the operation of the fuel system, which can cause engine misfires and stalling.
Why are the return lines in my boiler clogged?
And even if you can force water through under pressure, you may not be able to clear those old lines. Remember, once you reconnect the return lines, there will be very little pressure available to make the condensate flow back to the boiler. If you flush returns regularly, they’ll be less likely to clog.

What causes a clogged return line in a boiler?
I’d be much more concerned about the short line which is hot… but this is one pipe steam, so perhaps not. The chief symptom of a clogged return line is slow return of condensate to the boiler, such that, when the boiler fires up the water level drops significantly during a cycle and stays down, and only comes back slowly at the end of a cycle.
What should I do if my lawn mower fuel line is clogged?
If your lawnmower is equipped with a fuel valve at the base of the fuel tank, turn it to the “off” position. Remove the fuel line from the tank and inspect the line to see if it is clogged. If necessary, clean the fuel line; then reattach it and return the fuel valve to the full “on” position.
