## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FUEL FROM THE RELIEF VALVE GASKET.  FUEL WAS ALSO FOUND IN THE UPPER  DECK PRESSURE LINES AT THE PUMP.  SB REFERENCES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND INCLUDES THE MODEL NR OF THIS PUMP BUT NOT THE SN.  REF MSG 113.
