## Discrepancy

FUEL WAS REPORTED DRIPPING FROM THE LOWER CENTER FUSELAGE AREA.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THE LOWER FUEL ELECTRICAL ISOLATOR TUBE LEAKING BETWEEN THE BONDED AREA OF THE METAL FERRULE AND THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE TUBE. FOLLOWING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRICAL ISOLATOR TUBE A SATISFACTORY LEAK CHECK WAS PERFORMED.
