## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING REVENUE FLIGHT AFTER TAKEOFF REACHING 9,000 FT, THE MASTER AND CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING FIRE ON THE LT ENGINE.  EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED AND AFTER 6 TO 7 MINUTES THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED, BOTH FIRE BOTTLES WERE USED.  ACFT RETURNED TO AIRPORT AND LANDED ON 1 ENGINE.  PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REVEALED FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL FLOW DIVIDER AREA. PWA WILL INVESTIGATE TO ESTABLISH ROOT CAUSE AND SUPPLEMENT THE REPORT ONCE THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.
