## Discrepancy

OWNER COMPLAINT FOR FUEL CAP O-RINGS BEING TOO LARGE.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED RINGS .25 INCH IN DIAMETER TOO LARGE.  O-RINGS HAD BEEN INSTALLED ABOUT 30 DAYS, 1.5 HOURS TT.  INSTALLED NEW O-RINGS.  INSPECTED ACFT 3 WEEKS LATER AND FOUND SAME CONDITION.  INSPECTED O-RINGS REMOVED EARLIER, FOUND THEY HAD SHRUNK BACK TO ORIGINAL SIZE.  REMOVED ALL O-RINGS FROM STOCK (SAME BATCH NR) AND RETURNED TO VENDOR.
