What was found

FOUND FUEL PUMP INTERMITTENT. PUMP WOULD WORK ON THE GROUND BUT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS FLOWN THE HEATER WOULD SHUT DOWN AFTER A SHORT TIME. IT FINALLY FAILED ON THE GROUND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRCRAFT HAD FLOWN. THIS IS THE SECOND AIRCRAFT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST WEEK TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SAME MODEL AND ONLY 19 SERIAL NUMBERS APART.
