## Discrepancy

BOI - FLIGHT 2398 - DURING DESCENT, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED THE SMELL OF FUEL.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE NR 1 AND NR 2 ENGINE BAY AREAS, EXHAUSTS, AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS FOR EVIDENCE OF FUEL.  NONE WAS FOUND.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND WERE GOOD.  COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE DISCREPANCY AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
