## Discrepancy

FUEL NOZZLE INLET SCREEN, ALSO KNOWN AS (LAST CHANCE FILTER) SHOWS SIGNS OF INITIAL COLLAPSE.  COLLAPSED SCREEN CANNOT BE DETECTED WITHOUT DISASSEMBLY OF NOZZLE.  SCREEN IS BEING MANUFACTURED FROM TOO THIN OF MATERIAL AND IS COLLAPSING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WITHOUT DETECTION.  THIS COLLAPSE WILL CAUSE PARTIAL ENGINE POWER LOSS OR TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE.
