## Discrepancy

FILTER BOWL AND FILTER SEPARATED FROM FILTER HEAD/ASSEMBLY.  THE HEILCOIL IN THE HEAD CASTING PULLED FROM HEAD.  FUEL PRESSURE WAS LOST TO THE ASSOCIATED ENGINE.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE OTHER FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY WAS STARTING TO FAIL IN A SIMILAR WAY.  SUSPECT CAUSE OF FAILURE IS OVERTIGHTENING OF FILTER HOLD-DOWN.
