🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of shrouds/guards around high‑pressure fuel lines on gas turbines • What happens if fuel leaks in a hot machinery space • Difference between maintenance convenience, safety from leaks, and heat protection

💭 Think About

• On a running gas turbine, which of these purposes is most critical to preventing fires or explosions? • If a high‑pressure fuel line fails, what would a shroud practically do with that fuel? • Does a shroud mainly help technicians work on equipment, or is it primarily a safety device?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly addresses fuel leak containment and fire safety • Consider whether heat protection is the main design driver or just a side effect • Ask if a design feature intended for safety would be justified only to simplify maintenance
