## Narrative

Employee could see the steam coming off of the diesel pump and knew it was not pumping.  Cold water running into the hot pump case created steam pressure that exceeded the hose clamps capability and it blew off the suction hose.  Hot water then spilled out of the pump case and splashed onto the employees legs.
