## Discrepancy

FUEL VAPOR IN CABIN DURING FUELING.  SLIGHT SMELL FOR 3 LEGS.  SMELL WAS STRONG AT DEN.  *S/D*  THE FUEL MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED NEAR THE NOZZLE AT THE TWO O'CLOCK POSITION ON THE APU.  THE TWO O'CLOCK POSITION ON THE MAIN START FUEL NOZZLE WAS LEAKING.  REPLACED THE FUEL MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY (P/N 4950084), THE MAIN FUEL NOZZLE (P/N 4500228A), AND THE GASKET.  OPS CHECK WAS GOOD.
