## Discrepancy

A FUEL PUMP SHOWS EVIDENCE OF CAVITATIONAL EROSION ON A STRUCTURAL PILLAR WITHIN THE PUMP.  THIS PILLAR CONTAINS A PASSAGEWAY FOR ELECTRICAL WIRES, WHICH FORMS PART OF THE MOTOR EXPLOSION CONTAINMENT ZONE.  THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THE EROSION COULD MIGRATE TO THE PASSAGEWAY AND THEREFORE BREACH THE EXPLOSION CONTAINMENT ZONE.  MFG IS COMMUNITATING WITH AC MFG. (K)
