## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, UPPER EICAS MSG LT ENG FUEL FILTER WITH STATUS MSG LT ENG FUEL FILTER.  FLIGHT DECLARED AN EMER & RETURNED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  ACFT REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED FUEL FILTER FROM LT ENG & FOUND NON-METALLIC DEBRIS.  REPLACED FUEL FILTERS ON BOTH LT & RT ENGS, & THE APU.  THE ENGS & APU WERE RAN, & THE FILTERS WERE CHANGED AGAIN.  THE REMOVED FILTERS WERE INSPECTED & FOUND FREE OF CONTAMINATION.
