## Discrepancy

FUELER REPORTS RT REFUEL VALVE WILL NOT OPEN NORMALLY.   TRANSFERRED FUEL IAW AMM.  VALVE OPENED AND FUEL TRANSFERRED INTO RT WING.  WHEN FUEL TRUCK BECAME AVAILABLE AND PRESSURE FUELING WAS PERFORMED, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE RT REFUEL VALVE WAS SURGING.  PRESSING THE OVERRIDE BUTTON CAUSED THE SOLENOID VALVE TO STOP SURGING.
