← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an aircraft's fuel rapidly vaporizes?
A)Engine experiences fuel starvation✓
B)Turbine-blade tip overheating occurs
C)Combustion becomes hyperstoichiometric
D)Increased NOₓ formation at exhaust
💡 Explanation
Fuel vaporization causes reduced liquid fuel delivery because vapor lock disrupts the fuel pump. The reduction in delivery triggers fuel starvation; therefore, that is the consequence of unwanted vaporization, rather than overheating, combustion changes, because cooling and metering are interrupted.
