## Narrative

3 maintenance EE's were working on replacing an O-Ring on a Dozer. One EE bumped the engine to force the fuel out of the cylinder, when the fuel entered the IE's right palm but did not exit out the other side of his hand. The pressure created 2 small cuts 2 inches long on different locations on the palm of the hand. Unknown where IE's hand was positioned when the injury occurred.
