## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOUND ALL HOSES EXCEPT BRAKE AND OIL COOLER HOSES WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS AT LEAST 25 YEARS OLD.  WITH 3,134 HOURS TT, THE HOSES WERE ALL IN A STATE OF DETERIORATION.  THE WING BAY FUEL HOSES AT TANKS WERE CORRODED AT SOCKETS.  SERVICE MANUAL CHECK LIST RECOMMENDS HOSE REPLACEMENT AT 1,000 HOURS OR 5 YEARS CALENDAR LIFE.
