## Discrepancy

UPON RETURN FROM FLIGHT, MINOR FUEL LEAKAGE WAS OBSERVED ON AFT FUSELAGE. DURING FUELING, FOUND THE FUELING PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE LEAKING. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT EXCESSIVE FUELING PRESSURE MAY HAVE BEEN EXCEEDED WHEN AWAY FROM BASE.  SUGGEST OPERATORS MONITOR FBO'S FUELING TRUCKS FOR PROPER SINGLE POINT PRESSURE.
