## Discrepancy

LEFT ENGINE QUIT IN-FLIGHT WHILE FUEL SELECTOR WAS ON MAIN FUEL POSITION.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED A BIC PEN FIRMLY LODGED IN FUEL TANK OUTLET TUBE.  FINGER STRAINER WAS BROKEN OFF.  SUSPECT THAT SOMEONE DROPPED PEN INTO TANK WHILE DIP-STICKING FUEL LEVEL AND NEVER CONSIDERED CONSEQUENCES.
