## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE CREW REPORTED A HEAVY FUEL LEAK AFTER NR 2 ENGINE SHUTDOWN.  THE DRAIN TANK COULD NOT TAKE THE AMOUNT OF LEAKING FUEL AND A LOT OF RESIDUAL FUEL WAS FOUND INSIDE THE LOWER COWLING.  POST FLIGHT FUEL CALCULATIONS REVEALED A SPLIT OF 150KG FOR THE FLIGHT.  REPLACING THE FUEL METERING UNIT, FMU, RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM. THE FMU WILL BE SENT FOR INVESTIGATION.
