Any questions regarding Service Bulletin are to be directed to AVStar Fuel Systems, Inc. at www.avstardirect.com, or call (561) 575-1560

1. APPLICABILITY

This Service Bulletin applies to RSA-5AB1, RSA-5AD1, RSA-10AD1, RSA-10DB1, RSA- 10DB2, RSA-10ED1 and RSA-10ED2 fuel servos overhauled or manufactured by AVStar Fuel Systems (AVStar) between May 21, 2010 and October 19, 2010. It also applies to fuel servos of any make (AVStar, Bendix, Precision, etc.) overhauled by others using AVStar Value Kits (P/N’s AVK-5AB1, AVK-5AD1, AVK-10AD1, AVK-10ED1 and AVK-10ED2) and/or Fuel Diaphragms (P/Ns AV2541801 and AV2541803) purchased from AVStar between May 21, 2010 and October 19, 2010. A list of serial numbers of servos and lot numbers of the diaphragm assemblies affected by this Bulletin are included as Attachments A and B and further can be found on our website at www.avstardirect.com.

2. REASON FOR PUBLICATION

There has been a report of a possible failure after 19 hours of an RSA-10ED1 fuel servo overhauled by AVStar that may involve the fuel diaphragm assembly. This report involved an aircraft that lost power and crashed. The fuel diaphragm assemblies being investigated are limited to those AVStar fuel diaphragm assemblies manufactured between May 21, 2010 and October 19, 2010 and further limited to the lot numbers and/or servo serial numbers shown in Attachments A and B.

3. SAFETY FIRST

AVStar is committed to its customer’s safety through technical innovation. AVStar has no authority to compel owners to act responsibly and take prudent action to insure their and others safety, but the company believes compliance with this MANDATORY SERVICE BULLETIN is important and will insure a safer product.

Any questions regarding Service Bulletin are to be directed to AVStar Fuel Systems, Inc. at www.avstardirect.com, or call (561) 575-1560

4. COMPLIANCE

THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS OF SERVO FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT FLIGHTS BE LIMITED TO DELIVERING THE AIRCRAFT TO A SERVICE FACILITY.

If the fuel servo is an affected unit that was overhauled by AVStar, or if it contains an affected AVStar fuel diaphragm assembly installed by another facility, the servo is to be removed from the aircraft and returned to AVStar for immediate inspection and repair.

5. EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE

After replacement of the affected fuel diaphragm assembly, compliance with this service bulletin will be noted on the servo data tag by adding the mark SB6 as shown in Figs 3 and 4 below.

6. WARRANTY STATEMENT

Affected units must be returned directly to AVStar for repair or replacement at AVStar’s discretion upon validation and approval of Claim Form AFS-900-F98 and the assignment of a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number (See Claim Process below). In the event that a Value Kit or a separately purchased fuel diaphragm assembly from the affected lots was used to overhaul a fuel servo, AVStar will also repair or replace the servo as described above. There will be no charge to the customer for repair of the diaphragm assembly or replacement of the affected unit. However, in the event that AVStar elects to repair the diaphragm assembly rather than to replace the unit and evaluation of the unit indicates that additional repairs above and beyond those to the diaphragm assembly are required in order to insure airworthiness, the customer will be contacted and standard rates will apply.

Unused fuel diaphragms included in Value Kits from the affected lots will be replaced at no charge.
