The problem
If the plastic coating of the fuel filler and/or breather pipe is damaged, salt water may accumulate between the plastic coating and the steel pipes, and the accumulation could cause corrossion which would eventually rust through the affected pipes, allowing gasoline fumes and fuel to leak.
The risk
Gasoline fumes and/or fuel leakage through the filler orbreather pipes could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
The fix
Corroded filler or breather pipes will be cleaned and recoated or replaced as needed.
