## Discrepancy

BWI - FLT 1176 - EN ROUTE FROM MCO TO BDL, CAPTAIN NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A FUEL LOSS AND SUSPECTED A FUEL LEAK.  CAPTAIN DECLARED AN EMERENCY AND THE FLIGHT DIVERTED TO BWI.  AFTER LANDING SAFELY AND EXITING RUNWAY, FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD CREW A BAD FUEL LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE NR 1 ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED TO PULL FIRE HANDLE.  FIRE HANDLE WAS PULLED WHICH DISCHARGED FIRE BOTTLE TO NR 1 ENGINE.  AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO GATE WITH PASSENGERS ON BOARD.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE FUEL HOSE ASSY IN THE STRUT FOR THE NR 1 ENGINE.  LEAK CHECK GOOD.  THEY ALSO REPLACED THE NR 1 ENGINE FIRE BOTTLE AND SQUIB.  OPS CHECK SATISFACTORY PER MM.  (X)
