## Discrepancy

COPILOT’S RUDDER PEDDLE COVER IS CHAFING INTO THE FUEL LINE.  THIS CHAFING IS CAUSED BY INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE OF THE RUDDER PEDDLE COVER AND THE FUEL LINE.  THE SAME CONDITION HAS BEEN FOUND ON TWO OTHER AIRCRAFT.  CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY TRIMMING THE RUDDER PEDDLE COVER FOR POSITIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FUEL LINE AND COVER ON ALL THREE AIRCRAFT.  THE FUEL LINE ON 1821675 REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO DAMAGE BEYOND LIMITS.
