## Discrepancy

FUEL TANKS WERE FOUND TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT LEAKS IN AN AREA NOT CLOSE TO ANY SEAMS, WELDS, OR BOSSES. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE DENTS, DINGS, SCRATCHES, GOUGES OR OTHER DAMAGE IN THE AREAS OF THE LEAKS. THE LEAK HOLES WERE MUCH SMALLER THAN THE DIAMETER OF A PIN AND WERE NOT VISUALLY DETECTABLE. TANKS WERE TAGGED UNAIRWORTHY.  FUEL TANKS WERE ALSO TAGGED UNAIRWORTHY PENDING FURTHER TESTINGS AS A PRECAUTION.  (K)
