## Discrepancy

NUMBER 1 ENG FUEL LINE, PN 3040637, WAS INSPECTED & FOUND TO HAVE CHAFING THAT EXCEEDED THE LIMITS FOR CONTINUED SERVICE.  WE HAVE ELECTED TO INSPECT ALL OF OUR ACFT FOR THIS DEFECT & HAVE DISCOVERED OTHERS REQUIRING PART REPLACEMENT.  SB 13250R1, OPTIONAL, ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM & WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ON ENGS THAT ARE APPLICABLE.  NOTED THAT THE NR 1 ENG IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE DEFECT DUE TO THE ROUTING OF THE STARTER GEN HOSE, PN 115167CXX160706.  THIS INSPECTION WAS GEN DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL LINE NOTED ABOVE ON ANOTHER ACFT IN WHICH THE AFFECTED ENG EXPERIENCED POWER LOSS & FUEL LEAKAGE AS NOTED ON SDR EPUA20150428001.
