Unsafe Condition

Improperly installed engine fuel shutoff valve assemblies or crossfeed valve assemblies could lead to uncommanded fuel flow from the fuel tanks to the engine nacelle, resulting in reduced airplane fire protection in the event of a leak in the engine fuel line or a fire in the engine nacelle.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect engine fuel shutoff valves (spar valves) to detect fuel leakage and ensure no leakage occurs when valves are commanded to close. Perform an alignment procedure of the engine fuel shutoff valves if necessary. Actions must be accomplished as specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-28A0045, Revision 1.
