## Discrepancy

WHILE C/W AD 95-09-13, THE FUEL LINE GOING TO THE FORWARD RIGHT WING INLET VALVE WAS FOUND NOT CENTERED GOING THROUGH A BULKHEAD THROUGH-HOLE.  REMOVING THE LINE, A HOLE WAS FOUND CHAFED THROUGH.  IF THE FUEL LEVEL HAD GONE BELOW THIS LINE, A FUEL STARVATION WOULD HAVE DEVELOPED.  A NEW LINE WAS INSTALLED AND PROPER CLEARANNCE WAS ESTABLISHED.  THIS AREA SHOULD BE CHECKED ANY TIME THE FUEL TANKS ARE OPENED.
