What was found

VAPOR RETURN LINE WAS CHAFED THROUGH BY RUBBING ON THE EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK. A GROMMET IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THE CHAFING, BUT ONLY HID THE DAMAGE. CLOSE INSPECTION OF BOTH THE VAPOR RETURN AND THE FUEL FEED LINES FOR THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE SHOULD BE DONE AT ANNUAL, BUT IS NOT MENTIONED IN SERVICE DATA.
