## Discrepancy

DURING C/W LYCOMING AD 93-02-05, FOUND ALL 6 FUEL INJECTOR LINES CRACKED AT SOLDER JOINT AND LEAKING FUEL.  SUBMITTER NOTED THAT ON PREVIOUS ANNUAL INSPECTION FORMS, A NOTATION WAS MADE THAT LINES WERE LEAKING, BUT DEFERRED.  THE LEAKING LINES POSED A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DEFERRED.  INSTALLED NEW LINES AND CLAMPED PER LYC SB 342A.
