I had that pipe pop out of a Weber 32/36 progressive in a '69 bus, many
years ago. Engine wasn't running, so no fire there either, luckily. I
mentioned it on this list, and someone said that this was a common problem
with Weber carbs on many different cars.

===============================
I co-worker had the same problem, brass fuel hose fitting coming off of the
carb body on his bus.  Just a friction fit.  Also fortunate, no fire.
