## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: ON TAKEOFF, AIRCRAFT DEVELOPED A 540 LBS FUEL IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE LEFT TANK AND RIGHT TANK. THE IMBALANCE REMAINED BETWEEN 540LBS AND 400 LBS.  DUE TO RECENT AIRCRAFT FUEL LEAK, WE OPTED TO NOT BALANCE THE FUEL. THE LEFT TANK IS THE LOW TANK. **SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED**(OPEN).
