## Discrepancy

(CAN) TROUBLESHOOTING A FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING A/C SYSTEM DEFECT. WITH BOTH POWER SECTIONS RUNNING THE FUEL QUANTITY INDICATION WOULD CHANGE WITH NO FUEL ADDED. FUEL QUANTITY SELECTOR WOULD BE POSITIONED TO LT TANK AND VERY SLOWLY THE INDICATOR WOULD SHOW THE CORRECT QUANTITY. THEN MOVE THE SELECTOR TO RT TANK AND THE FUEL QUANTITY WOULD REACT VERY SLOWLY THE FUEL INDICATOR WOULD READ THE CORRECT QUANTITY. THEN MOVE THE SELECTOR BACK TO THE LEFT TANK AND THE READING WOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL FUEL INDICATION.
