(2) If the fuel line tube clamps have hexagonal heads, drain fuel tanks, and loosen the tube clamp(s), pull the fuel hose off of the fuel line(s) and tank outlets and inspect tube(s) for deformed tube sections. If fuel line tube(s) are deformed, replace tube(s), front tubes Maule P/N 5092X-7 left, 5092X-8 right; rear tube(s) P/N 5092X-1 left and 5092X-9 right. Use round head Aeroseal hose clamps P/N QS-100-M8S, or existing hose clamps, during reassembly. Torque clamps to 15-20 inch pounds. Leak check fuel system prior to returning aircraft to service.
An alternate method of compliance with this A. D. may be used if approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Southern Region, Atlanta, Georgia.
