NTSB Accident History (1)

Date	NTSB #	Damage	Highest Injury	Probable Cause
May 1, 2001	LAX01FA160	Destroyed	Fatal	A fuel leak on the cabin and engine sides of the firewall with a probable origin at the firewall pass-through fitting for the fuel pressure gage line. The fire likely began on the engine side of the firewall near the bottom with the explosive ignition of the pooled fuel/vapors in the cockpit after burn through penetration of the fuselage fabric skin on the bottom aft side of the firewall. Further refinement of the leak source between the pass-through fitting and the lines/connectors could not be established due to thermal destruction of the components.
