## Discrepancy

(CAN) THIS FWD FUEL TANK ENCLOSURE WAS FOUND BADLY DETERIORATED DUE TO ITS AGE, THERE WERE OLD REPAIRS FOUND CARRIED OUT. THIS ASSEMBLY HAD BEEN BULGING DUE TO THE FUEL, CAUSING CLOSER TOLERANCES TO THE ELEVATOR CONTROL PUSH/PULL TUBE.  THIS ASSEMBLY HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW CERTIFIED UNIT MADE FROM ALUMINUM IAW STC SA 06-51 MDL P/N VT2MK1555, ISSUE 1. (TC NR 20080221001)
