## Discrepancy

WHILE PRESSURIZING THIS FUEL LINE WITH AIR TO FIND A LEAK IN A DIFFERENT AREA, THIS LINE BURST DUE TO IT CHAFING ON ANOTHER LINE.  THIS LINE NORMALLY CARRIES ABOUT 300 PSI, AND HAD IT BURST IN-FLIGHT, IT WOULD HAVE SPRAYED THE TAILCONE WITH FUEL.  REPLACED THE LINE AND PROVIDED SEPARATION.  SUGGEST THAT THIS AREA SPECIFICALLY GETS LOOKED AT ON THE INSPECTION GUIDE.  ALSO, INFORMED GALAXY AEROSPACE TECHNICAL PEOPLE.
