## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF ROLL AND INITIAL CLIMB OUT, FUEL WAS OBSERVED LEAKING FROM THE LEFT WING TIP.  ATC INFORMED THE CREW OF THE LEAK AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO COME AROUND AND LAND.  THE CREW LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LT FUEL VENT AND FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR TEST FLIGHT, NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.
