## Discrepancy

THE NR 1 ENGINE INDICATED A LOSS OF 2,500 LB OF FUEL WHILE EN ROUTE FROM BWI TO IAH.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO ATL.  THE NR 1 ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE ON APPROACH TO ATL AT 3,000 FEET.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  INVESTIGATION BY ENGINEERING CONCLUDED THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BROKEN FUEL MANIFOLD.
