## Discrepancy

GASKET SOFT AND CAME APART WHEN TOUCHED.  AIRCRAFT USES AUTOGAS AND WHEN MANUFACTURER CALLED, THEY SAID THEY NEVER CHECK THE GASKETS WITH AUTO FUEL AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD DO.  THIS WAS FOUND WHILE C/W WITH AD 96-09-06.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS ANY FILTER USED WITH AUTO FUEL BE CHECKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
