## Discrepancy

IAH - FLIGHT 2551 FROM JAX, THE CREW REPORTED A FUEL SMELL ON TAKEOFF ROLL.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 3 APU FUEL NOZZLES, OPERATIONALLY AND LEAK CHECKED WITH NO DEFECTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
