Compliance required on items (1) and (2) by October 15, 1959; compliance required on item (3) by December 1, 1959.

(2) Install temporary placard at engineer's station reading as follows: "In order to maintain a nonexplosive rich mixture in tanks, do not use fuel out of auxiliary tanks Nos. 5, 6, and 7 below 50 gallons. In operations which involve use of fuel from main tanks only, the 50 gallons of residual fuel in the auxiliary tanks must be replaced with 50 gallons of fresh fuel or mixed with at least 150 gallons of fresh fuel at the end of every 12 flight-hours or 5 flights, whichever occurs first."
