## Discrepancy

FUEL LINES RUBBING AND STRESSED DUE TO UPPER OUTBOARD DOOR FRAME PARTIALLY COVERING HOLE AND NOT ALLOWING CLEARANCE FOR FUEL LINE.  CAUSED BY THE HOLE IN DOOR FRAMES NOT BEING CUT OUT TO ORIGINAL SIZE FOR CLEARANCE BY MFG.  RECOMMENDATION IS TO ROUND OUT HOLES TO ORIGINAL OPENING TO ACCOMMODATE FUEL LINE.
