## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKE-OFF, PILOT NOTICED A INTERMITTENT DROP ON THE LEFT FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE OF ABOUT 500 LBS, THEN EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ON NEXT LEG, AFTER TAKE-OFF, PILOT NOTICED THE SAME THING. INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED AN INTERMITTENT NR 4 FUEL PROBE IN THE LEFT WING. THE INTERMITTENT OPERATION WAS DISCOVERED ONLY AFTER EXPOSING THE PROBES, AND USING A BARFIELD BOX, AND THEN TAPPING ON EACH PROBE, UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND.
