## Discrepancy

THIS SET OF FUEL HOSES WERE OBTAINED FROM THE HOLDER OF A PMA. THEY WERE INSTALLED IN MAY.  THE HOSE WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING AT THE CRIMP CONNECTION AT THE END OF THE HOSE.  THE LEAK DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CAUSED BY MISHANDLING, BUT BY A POOR CRIMP JOB.  THIS IS THE SECOND HOSE FROM THIS SET THAT HAVE STARTED LEAKING FROM THE SAME LOCATION.
