## Discrepancy

AFTER REPAIRING A DEFECTIVE FUEL LINE TO CORRECT A LEAK, FUEL WAS PUT INTO TANK.  A LEAK WAS STILL NOTED.  REMOVED TANK AND FOUND BOTH STRAPS BROKEN WHERE THEY ARE FASTENED TO THE OUTBOARD STRAPS.  A CRACK WAS FOUND ON THE WELDED BOSS FOR THE FINGER STRAINER/OUTLET CONNECTION.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS PERIODICALLY CHECKING FUEL TANK STRAPS FOR SECURITY TO PREVENT TANK MOVEMENT.
