## Discrepancy

CONFIRMED RT ENGINE FUEL LEAK. LOST  APPROX 1800 POUNDS IN 30 MINS. SHUTDOWN  RT ENGINE IN FLT.

USED FUEL STICKS FOR RT TANK TO VERIFY FUEL QTY REF MM 28-44-00-2 , TANK OVERHEAD IND IS CORRECT. NO  NOTICEABLE FUEL ODOR AROUND ENG OR LEAKS ON  GROUND. REMOVED AND REPLACED RT TANK FUELING SHUTOFF VALVE ACTUATOR. OPS/LEAK CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME. IAW AMM 28-21-12-4.
