        After 1979 incident concluded Risk of Fire limited
        
        that ignition cannot be caused by rubber or metal debris penetrating the tank;
        
        The secondary nozzle’s temperature is too low to ignite the fuel
        
        Only the electrical circuits in this compartment constitute a possible source of ignition
