Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on April 23, 2019, an employee overfilled the prevention valve during inspection, and the wireless pressurized line leak detector was bent. The employee attempted to re-bend the WPLLD and it broke, causing the fuel to spray. The employee pried yolk assembly with a screwdriver while the system was energized. It then arced, igniting the vapors. The employee was burned on the forearms and was hospitalized.
