## Discrepancy

(CAN)  FUEL LINE CORRODED THROUGH ENTIRE WALL THICKNESS. FUEL LINE IS DIRECTLY OFF THE RT FUEL TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE AFT DOOR POST AND ALONG THE DOOR FRAME.  LEAK WAS FOUND ALONG THE DOOR FRAME PART OF THE FUEL LINE.  ALSO NEED TO MENTION THAT THE FUEL LINE CORRODED FROM THE INSIDE AND ONLY CREATED A PINHOLE LEAK THAT WAS FAIRLY HARD TO SEE.   EDIT: AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I CUT THE LINE OPEN AND NO CORROSION WAS PRESENT ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE LINE. THE CORROSION STARTED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND CREATED A PIN HOLE.
