## Discrepancy

AT CRUISE ALTITUDE,  F/A'S REPORT STRONG ODOR SIMILAR TO FUEL EMINATING NEAR EXIT ROWS.  CYCLING PACKS IAW COM PROCEDURE AS WELL AS FUEL LEAK PROCEDURE DID NOT CLEAR ODOR.  F/A'S REPORT ODOR WORSENING, MOVING AFT AS DECENT, LANDING MADE.  ON THE GROUND FLIGHT WALK THROUGH CABIN, CA & F/O WE NOTICED LINGERING ODOR SIMILAR TO FUEL.  NOTE WE DID NOT SMELL ANY ABNORMAL ODOR IN FLIGHT DECK WHILE IN FLIGHT.  PERFORMED TSM 28-00-00-810-801A.  NO FUEL LEAKS FOUND BELOW CABIN FLOOR, 241HF, 242HF, VISUAL INSPECTION OK.  NO FUEL LEAKS NOTED ON INSULATION, FRAME OR BLANKETS IAW TSM.  REPLACED LT & RT RECIRCULATION FILTERS IAW AMM 21-21-41.  INSPECTED CARGO COMPARTMENT, FUSELAGE AND APU.
