## Discrepancy

THIS DEFECT WAS DETECTED DURING TROUBLESHOOTING FOR AN ENGINE PWR PROBLEM.  THIS FLEX TYPE TUBE ASSY WAS INSTALLED IN CONJUCTION WITH AN STC FROM ENG PWR PROBLEM.  THIS FLEX TYPE TUBE ASSY WAS INSTALLED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN STC, PC SAFETY VALVE KIT SE5511NM.  AFTER THE DEFECT WAS DETECTED, THE KIT FOR SAFETY VALVES WAS REMOVED AND THE ORIGINAL HARD LINE WAS RE-INSTALLED.  THE STC KIT WILL NOT FIT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF THE FLEX BLEED AIR TUBE.  THESE TUBE ASSY ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO BREAKAGE AFTER THEY HAVE TAKEN A SET.  (K)
