Unsafe Condition

Wear and/or detachment of the top stop of magnetic fuel level indicators (MFLI), caused by repetitive impact with the float, could lead to contact with a probe. This could create an ignition source in the fuel tank vapor space during a lightning strike, potentially resulting in a fire or explosion.

Required Actions

Inspect the magnetic fuel level indicators (MFLI) using an improved method to determine their part numbers. Replace or repair the MFLI if necessary, including locating and removing any missing top stop and inspecting for fuel tank damage.
