## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOTED TO BE LEAKING FUEL BY GROUND CREWS AFTER 2.1 HOURS’ TIME SINCE NEW.  THE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN INSTALLED NEW ON THE ENGINE.  AS PART OF A NEW EXCHANGE ENGINE PURCHASED & INSTALLED DURING AN OVERHAUL.  THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING FROM THE OVERBOARD DRAIN HOSE, WHICH IS A TATTLE TALE THAT CAN EITHER LEAK ENGINE OIL OR FUEL, DEPENDING ON WHICH PART OF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS.
