## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB, KEROSENE LIKE SMELL IN PASSENGER CABIN.  BOTH PACKS AND BLEEDS ON AT THE TIME.  FUEL SMELL ORIGINATED FROM THE GROUND PNEUMATIC CONNECTOR, WHICH WAS CONTAMINATED FROM A GROUND TRUCK USED FOR STARTING THE ENGINES.  THE DUCTING WAS CLEANED, COALESCER BAGS WERE REPLACED AND SYSTEM CHECKS OK.
