## Discrepancy

REPLACED PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY.  PILOT COMPLAINT OF LOW FUEL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON ALTITUDE.  HAVE NOTED THIS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NEW -27 SWITCH ASSEMBLY.  OLDER DASH NUMBER SWITCH ASSEMBLY USUALLY HAD A MUCH LONGER TBF RATE.  PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY, FAILURE MODE SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE ALTITUDE RELATED, WARNING LIGHTS USUALLY ILLUMINATE AT OR ABOVE 12,000 FT MSL.
