## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE, THE CREW NOTED THAT THE RT TANK WAS DROPPING AA MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN NORMAL, SO THEY INITIATED THE RETURN WITH THE THOUGHTS OF A FUEL LEAK.  ABOUT 50 MILES NW OF THE FIELD DID QRH PROCEDURE AND THE RT ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN, THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL. FOUND RELAY FAILED, WAS REPLACED ANDTHE RE-FUEL PANEL WAS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION AND FUEL     SYSTEM TESTED OK.
