## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE FUEL TANK VENT CARRY-THROUGH WAS FOUND CORRODED THROUGH AT SEVERAL POINTS ALONG THE TUBINGS LENGTH.  FUEL STAINS WERE ALSO VISIBLE.  THE VENT LINE WAS HIDDEN BEHIND A LAYER OF FIBERGLASS INSULATION.  THIS PART CAN ONLY BE INSPECTED BY REMOVAL OF THE HEADLINER AND ANY INSULATION AT THIS LOCATION.  12
