Unsafe Condition

Potential chafing condition exists between the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the auxiliary power unit (APU) and its surrounding structure and components, which could result in fuel leaking from the drain line. This condition, in combination with a nearby hot surface or other potential ignition source, could result in an uncontrolled fire in the aft equipment bay.

Required Actions

For certain airplanes, a detailed inspection for chafing conditions of the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the APU is required, with corrective actions if necessary. For certain other airplanes, replacement of the APU negative-G fuel feed tube assembly and the drain line is required.
