## Discrepancy

DURING PILOT WALKAROUND IN PBI, NOTED FUEL SMELL THROUGHOUT ACFT AND IN THE AFT CARGO COMPARTMENT.  THE ODOR WAS STRONGEST NEAR SEAT ROWS 19-24.

REPLACED LINE ALONG WITH LEAKING O-RINGS AT COUPLING SEAL, REF: B717 IPC 28-24-03-01 ITEM 330.  ENGINE RUN AND ASSOCIATED LEAK CHECKS WERE GOOD.
