## Discrepancy

(CAN) CREW REPORTED A HIGHER FUEL CONSUMPTION ON LH ENGINE AS PER QUANTITY INDICATOR BUT FUEL FLOW WERE NORMAL ON BOTH ENGINES. DURING INVESTIGATION, MAINTENANCE FOUND A FUEL LEAK FROM THE LINE BETWEEN THE START CONTROL UNIT AND THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT OF THE #1 ENGINE. THE LINE WAS TIGHT PROPERLY, BUT THE FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FLARE FITTING SWAGGED TO THE TUBE.
