## Discrepancy

INSUFFICIENT FUEL FLOW TO ENGINE FROM AUXILIARY AND TIP FUEL TANKS.  DEBRIS IN SOLENOID VALVE, OBSTRUCTING, JAMMING OPERATION.  THE PLUG IS IN A LOCATION PERMITTING WATER TO SETTLE AND PROPAGATE CORROSION.  THE SOLENOID VALVE SHOULD BE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION IN THE WHEEL WELL AND MOUNTED AS TO NOT ALLOW WATER TO SETTLE.
