## Discrepancy

INTREGAL FUEL TANK, FIBERGLASS DUSTY FIBERS CLOGGED FUEL FILTER ENOUGH TO DEGRADE POWER. FORCED LANDING DUE TO LACK OF POWER.   AIRCRAFT HAD 6 HOURS SINCE INITAL FLIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT FIBERS FROM INSIDE THE FIBERGLASS FUEL TANK MIGRATED IN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF OPERATION AND CLOGGED THE IN-LINE FUEL FILTER.
