THE WIND WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT FOREWARD AREA OF THE AIRCRAFT AT 10 KNOTS.  THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS CROSSFEEDING FROM THE LEFT TANK TO THE RIGHT ENGINE.  NO EXTERNAL ABNORMALITIES WERE OBSERVED.  MAINTENANCE FOUND RIGHT ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FITTING ON FUEL LINE LOOSE.  TIGHTNED FITTING AND SECURED THE DRAIN SLEEVE, GROUND RUNS WERE PERFORMED AND NO LEAKS WERE NOTED.
