## Discrepancy

WITH APU RUNNING - ECS IN APU NOTED FUEL ODOR IN AFT CABIN IN LAV AREA.  FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND ODOR TO BE MOST PRONOUNCED IN SMALL CABINET BELOW LAV CLOSET HOUSING AIRSHOW BOXES - A/C HAD APPROX 1600 LBS OF FUEL ON BOARD.  NO FUEL ODOR FROM GASPERS.  RAN APU FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR IN THE -APU- MODE ON THE ECS.  VARIED TEMPERATURES FROM HOT TO COLD BUT NEVER SMELLED FUEL IN THE CABIN.  OPS CHECK OF APU GOOD AT THIS TIME.  GULFSTREAM G200 MM/49-00-00.  NO FUEL NOTED BENEATH LAV CLOSETS AT THIS TIME.  KLFT-KDTS
