## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT RT ENGINE ROUGHNESS AND AN OBVIOUS FUEL LEAK WAS EXPERIENCED.  THE PILOT SHUTDOWN AND SECURED THE RT ENGINE AND MADE A SAVE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING AT AN ON AIRPORT LOCATION.  THE COMPANY MECHANIC LOCATED A FUEL LEAK AT THE NR 5 CYLINDER FUEL INJECTION TUBE AT THE MANIFOLD FITTING LOCATION.  A CRACK IN THE SOLDERED JOINT WHERE THE FLARE BALL END FITS TO THE TUBING WAS FOUND.  THE LINE WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE PART AND THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS LEAK CHECKED AND INSPECTED FOR NORMAL FUNCTION.
