## Discrepancy

DURING DAILY INSPECTION IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE MAIN FUEL FILTER BOWL WAS WEAPING FUEL. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ASSEMBLY AND DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL BOWL FILTER ASSEMBLY CASTING WAS CRACKED.  THE AREA IN QUESTION WAS BETWEEN THE HANGER BRACKET AND CASTING.  ALL FLIGHTS CANCELLED UNTIL NEW FUEL FILTER BOWL ASSEMBLY REPLACED.
