## Discrepancy

WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND THE FUEL BOOST PUMP ON , A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL CAME OUT THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP SHAFT SEAL DRAIN HOSE.  THE FUEL CONTINUED TO FLOW OUT THE DRAIN HOSE AFTER THE ENGINE WAS STARTED.  THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF LEAKS WITH THIS MODEL PUMP.  THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW DESIGN PUMP.  PUMP WAS RETURNED TO THE MFG FOR WARRANTY.  (K)
