Unsafe Condition
An interrupted shield contact may exist or develop between the housing of an in-tank Fuel Quantity Indication (FQI) cable plug and the cable shield of the shielded FQI system cables in the main and collector fuel tanks, which can form a spark gap under certain conditions, creating an ignition source in the tank vapor space and possibly resulting in a wing fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

Required Actions
Conduct a one-time general visual inspection to check for the presence of a bypass wire between the housing of each in-tank FQI cable plug and the cable shield. Depending on findings, install a bypass wire if not already present. Implement a Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) task to ensure the bypass wire remains installed. For airplanes with the improved plug (Souriau Part Number 20P227-2), only implement the CDCCL task to ensure this type of plug remains installed.
