## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED FUEL STARVATION - MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD.  FOUND TWO LOOSE PLUGS PN 35-921176 (UPPER AND LOWER) WERE LEAKING FUEL AND SUCKING AIR.  WHEN FUEL TANKS WERE SWITCHED, THE FUEL PRESSURE WOULD DROP BELOW 5 PSI AND NEVER RECOVER.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS BRASS PLUGS BE CHECKED ON FUEL UNIT ASSEMBLY 35-921171 FOR TIGHTNESS DURING ANNUAL INSPECTIONS.
