## Discrepancy

DURING A START, PILOT NOTICED A FUEL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT NOT EXTINGUISHING.  CONTINUED WITH THE START THROUGH TO IDLE.  THEN SHUT THE AIRCRAFT DOWN AFTER 10 SECONDS AT IDLE.  AFTER SHUT DOWN OPENED UP THE ENGINE COWLING AND NOTICED FUEL ON THE ENGINE DECK.  FUEL WAS COMING FROM THE WEEP HOLE OF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WITH AIRCRAFT BOOST PUMP ON.
