The airworthiness directive

47-34-03 BEECH: (Was Service Note 2 of AD-765-1.) Applies to D18S and D18C Airplanes Having 80-Gallon Nose Fuel Tanks. Inspection required each 100 hours of operation.

Inspect the pinked tape applied with EC 870 cement to the sheet metal fuel cell enclosure for general condition and attachment to the fuel cell enclosure. Effect repairs, if necessary, to maintain the cell enclosure fume and fuel tight.

For 80-gallon nose fuel tanks having an inside filler neck, inspect the filler cap assembly for security of the chain and its attachment to the filler cap and anchor bar. If necessary, repairs should be accomplished to maintain the fuel cap assembly in good condition.
