Compliance required not later than October 1, 1949, and each 100 hours of aircraft operation thereafter. To prevent possible hazardous loss of engine power resulting from introduction of air into the airplane's fuel system, inspect the hand emergency fuel pump installation for indications of a defective "O" ring shaft seal. A defective shaft seal may be indicated by fluctuating engine fuel pressure, fuel fumes in the cabin or evidence of fuel leaks around the hand pump's shaft.
