Unsafe Condition

Inadequate bonding between the No. 2 fuel transfer pump adapter surface of the fuel tank and the fuel transfer pump housing flange could result in a potential ignition source inside the fuel tank if the fuel transfer pump and structure interface are not submerged in fuel, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

Required Actions

Measure the electrical resistance of the bond between the No. 2 fuel transfer pump adapter surface of the fuel tank and the fuel transfer pump housing flange. If the resistance is more than 2.5 milliohms, electrically bond the fuel tank No. 2 fuel transfer pump housing surfaces and verify the electrical resistance is 2.5 milliohms maximum. If not achieved, rework the electrical bond until the resistance is met.
