## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT,  PASSENGERS NOTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR IN THE CABIN.  ACFT DIVERTED AND LANDED SAFELY.  MX TECHS FOUND RESIDUAL FUEL IN THE ACFT BELLY AND CONFIRMED THE ODOR.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL TANKS.  RESIDUAL FUEL WAS CLEANED UP AND NO OTHER EVIDENCE OF A LEAK WAS FOUND.
