Narrative:
Aircraft lost hydraulic pressure and fluid on 'B' system. On arrival at aircraft, we found #1 electric pump line burst. Checked hydraulic reservoir for fluid level. Level was between refill and empty. Removed and replaced flex line on #1 electric pump, with temperature line. Svced hydraulic system with fluid and operations checked and leak checked line installed. All checked good. Operations and maintenance control push for aircraft to be returned to service. The case drain filter was not inspected.
