## Discrepancy

ALUMINUM LINE CORRODED FROM THE INSIDE AND WAS NOT DETECTABLE FROM OUTSIDE OF LINE.  LEAK WAS NOTICED DURING FUELING AND AFTER MOVING THE LINE BY HAND, A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL STARTED TO LEAK OUT.   IT IS POSSIBLE THE CROSSFEED NEVER GETS USED AND THE WATER BUILT UP IN THE LINE CAUSING THE CORROSION.
