## Discrepancy

WHEN SELECTING DIFFERENT FUEL TANK, PANEL MOUNTED FUEL SELECTOR VALVE HANDLE-PIN WHICH HOLDS HANDLE TO SHAFT CAME OUT OF POSITION.  THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW TANK SELECTION TO BE MADE.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTED TO PREVENT RECURRENCE DURING PRE-FLIGHT AND ROUTINE INSPECTION, MOVE HANDLE, AND CHECK PIN FOR LOOSNESS AND PROPER OPERATION.
