## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN DOING AN INSPECTION, A TECH FOUND A FUEL LEAK UNDER THE RT NACELLE FUEL TANK.   CLEAN THE PANEL UNDER THE TANK AND A STREAM OF FUEL START TO FLOW.  EMPTIED THE TANK TO REMOVE THAT PANEL AND FOUND THAT THE PANEL WAS SO CORRODED THAT A HOLE PUNCTURED IT.  ONCE REMOVED, IT APPEAR THAT THERE WAS SOME OTHER CORROSION EMPLACEMENT THAT WAS ALMOST THROUGH THE PANEL.  THE PANEL WAS REPLACED BY A PARTS FABRICATED FOR REPAIR.
