## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE FOLLOW UP INSPECTION REVEALED THE B NUT ON THE PRESSURE FUEL LINE FROM THE MANIFOLD TO THE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER LOOSE. THIS INSTALLATION WAS INSTALLED 02-25-1997 UNDER STC SA00068SE. THE LEAKING FUEL LINE IS POSITIONED JUST ABOVE THE TURBOCHARGER (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES).

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
