As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

(CAN) DURING THE FIRST 100 HR INSPECTION THE BOLTS HOLDING THE BOTTOM COVER TO THE PUMP BODY WERE FOUND LOOSE BY SEVERAL TURNS. BOLTS WERE TIGHTENED AND TORQUE SEAL WAS ADDED TO MAKE VISUAL INDICATION OF MOVEMENT. THIS INSTALLATION WOULD BE BETTER SERVED WITH BOLTS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR LOCKWIRE.
