## Discrepancy

(CAN) INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP AS PER PILATUS AWD HB2001-500 AND SB 28-009 REVEALED THAT FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND EXTRUDED GASKET MATERIAL WAS FOUND. THE TORQUE OF THE SCREWS WAS CHECKED.  1/8TH TO 1/4 TURNS WERE NEEDED TO TORQUE THE SCREWS TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE OF 23 IN LB TO 25 IN LB. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED.
