What's wrong?
The engine fuel line on 2023-2024 Morbark Eeger Beever 1922, Eeger Beever 2131, and Eeger Beever 1821 brush chippers carries gasoline from the fuel system to the engine. It is supposed to hold steady fuel pressure while the engine runs, so fuel reaches the engine without leaking onto the machine.
On affected chippers, Morbark installed fuel lines rated for 50 PSI even though the engine operates at 58 PSI. That means the line is being used above its rating during normal operation. The line can burst under engine fuel pressure and spray fuel onto the engine instead of keeping it contained inside the hose.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the pressure rating of the fuel line itself, so an owner or operator is not given a clear symptom before the hose fails.
