## Discrepancy

PART IS BROKEN.  FOUND UPPER NIPPLE WHERE AUXILIARY FUEL TRANSFER TUBE ATTACHES TORN OFF.  THE AUXILIARY FUEL WAS NOT TRANSFERRING INTO THE FORWARD PART OF THE TANK.  WHEN REMOVING THE TANK FOR REPAIR, A .8750 INCH WRENCH WAS FOUND UNDER THE TANK.  THIS TANK WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY.  SENT TANK TO AUTHORIZED REPAIR STATION FOR REPAIR.
