## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED, AFTER START FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE RIGHT ENGINE FORWARD DRAIN TUBE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN.  PASSENGERS WERE EVACUATED DUE TO FUEL SMELLS IN THE CABIN.  UPON INVESTIGATION MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE RIGHT ENGINE HMU FUEL LINE AND THE RIGHT STANDBY FUEL PRESSURE SWITCH.  NO LEAKS NOTED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
