FUEL LEAK
LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT.
NOTE: An unexpected difference between the total fuel quantity
indicated on EICAS and the total fuel quantity indicated on the
FMS Fuel Management page may indicate a fuel leak
condition.
Set the fuel crossfeed selector to off, identify the affected fuel tank and
use asymmetric thrust to improve or maintain wing fuel balance to
counteract the effect of the suspected wing fuel leak.
If fuel leak is identified on the right side tank, set APU to off.
If fuel leak is identified on the left side tank, use APU as required.
If the fuel leakage continues and is severe, the pilot may consider to
shutdown the engine at the same side as the apparent fuel leakage. In
that case, perform the engine shutdown procedure and pull the fire
handle at the same side.
