## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, FOUND EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKING FROM WITHIN THE FUEL TRANSDUCER.  FUEL STAINS WERE FOUND ON EXTERIOR OF THE TRANSDUCER AND ON THE FIRE SHIELD SURROUNDING IT.  THERE WAS NO APPARENT LEAKING OUTSIDE OF THE FIRE SHIELD ITSELF.  THE UNIT WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION AND REPLACEMENT.
