## Discrepancy

TUBE WAS DISCOVERED CRACKED AND SEPARATED FROM FLARE AT P2 TAP END DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION.  ORIGINALLY, BLACK DEPOSITS WERE NOTICED AT B-NUT AND WHEN DISASSEMBLED, FOUND COMPLETE FAILURE OF TUBE FROM FLARE END.  CLOSE TOLERANCE FIT OF TUBE PROBABLY PROHIBITED ANOMALY FROM BEING NOTICED EARLIER.
