What's wrong?
The fuel line bracket on 2016-2021 Altec Aerial Device units is a frame-mounted clip that holds the diesel fuel lines in place near the rear streetside axle. Its job is simple: keep those lines secured to the chassis frame rail so they do not rub against nearby suspension parts while the unit moves and works.
On included units, the fuel line clamps were removed during installation of an aftermarket accessory and were not secured back to the frame rail correctly. When the bracket is loose or not attached correctly, the fuel lines can sit against the chassis shock absorber. That contact lets vibration and movement rub the line, wearing it until a diesel fuel leak forms.
An owner or fleet technician can catch the problem during inspection. A periodic DOT inspection can show the chassis fuel lines touching the rear streetside shock absorber, and a daily pre-travel inspection can reveal a fuel leak.
