Non-separating cycle with a nowhere-zero 4-flow conjecture

Let GG be a cyclically 44-edge connected cubic graph. For a cycle CC of GG, let G/E(C)G/E(C) denote the graph obtained by contracting the edges of CC, and let a nowhere-zero 44-flow mean a nowhere-zero flow over a group of order 44. Non-separating cycle with a nowhere-zero 44-flow conjecture. The graph GG contains a non-separating cycle CC such that G/E(C)G/E(C) has a nowhere-zero 44-flow. The source states that this conjecture would imply the cycle double cover conjecture and, in particular, the 55-cycle double cover conjecture.
