## Discrepancy

(CAN) GASCOLATOR FOUND LOOSE IN ITS MOUNTING BRACKET.  NIPPLE REMOVED AND FOUND CHAFED 90 TO 95 PERCENT THROUGH THE WALL FROM THE FIREWALL AS THE NIPPLE PASSES THROUGH A HOLE IN FIREWALL. DESIGN OF GASCOLATOR DOES NOT PERMIT USE OF BULKHEAD FITTING TO SECURE UNIT AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE FIREWALL.
