What are the fuel flow indications just prior to the engine problems?
Near as I can tell, because it happens pretty quick and unexpected, is that fuel flow indication drops rapidly just prior to the engine dying.

Are the gascolators the large spider type thing at the top of the engine? I'm sure the IA will know, but I'm just trying to visualize the difficulty and costs involved in just swapping out the o-rings.
