SUBJECT: FUEL - Engine Fuel Feed System - Wing and Center Tank Fuel Boost Pump Wire
Bundle Replacement and Convoluted Liner Installation
THIS DOCUMENT IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS OF RECORD OF THE AIRPLANES SHOWN IN
PARAGRAPH 1.A., EFFECTIVITY. IF AN AIRPLANE HAS BEEN LEASED OR SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT
TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE
NEW OWNER.
CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Paragraph 1.B., Concurrent Requirements.
BACKGROUND
This service bulletin installs new fuel boost pump wire bundles in the wing and center fuel tanks. New shielded
wire bundles in convoluted liners are installed in the fuel tank conduits with wire shield grounding at the fuel
boost pump housing and pressure seal. Boeing has issued this service bulletin so that the wiring and sleeve no
longer need to be removed and inspected every 15,000 hours in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin
737-28A1263 and the subject of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2007-24-02.
If this service bulletin is not done, wire bundle damage can occur, which could cause arcing and a possible burn
through condition which could result in a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank and consequent fire or explosion.
Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1263 was issued because damage was found during the repetitive inspection
in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1120 and mandated by Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 99-21-15. The damage was found to the sleeve, jacket, and insulation on the
electrical wire. The sleeve was worn through at three locations. At two of the locations the damage was also
through the jacket of the electrical wire and exposed the insulation on the electrical wire inside the jacket. The
wear did not expose the conductor of the electrical wire. The damage was found approximately 21,000 hours
after installation of the sleeve. The 21,000 hours is less than the 30,000 repeat inspection interval hours specified
in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 99-21-15.
Boeing has issued this service bulletin as a final solution to this condition and to replace Boeing Service Bulletin
737-28A1263. Accomplishment of this service bulletin installs new shielded wire bundles in convoluted liners in
the wing and center fuel tank conduits. The convoluted liner will decrease the chance of wire bundle damage.
The new shielded wiring will provide a ground path for the Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) to trip if there is shorting
in the wiring. This installation will help prevent a potential ignition sources that can cause consequent fire or
explosion. The GFI is installed by Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1212.

C. Reason
This service bulletin installs new fuel boost pump wire bundles in the wing and center fuel tanks. New
shielded wire bundles in convoluted liners are installed in the fuel tank conduits with wire shield grounding
at the fuel boost pump housing and pressure seal. Boeing has issued this service bulletin so that the
wiring and sleeve no longer need to be removed and inspected every 15,000 hours in accordance with
Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1263 and the subject of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Airworthiness Directive AD 2007-24-02. If this service bulletin is not done, wire bundle damage can
occur, which could cause arcing and a possible burn through condition which could result in a potential
source of ignition in a fuel tank and consequent fire or explosion.
Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1263 was issued because damage was found during the repetitive
inspection in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-28A1120 and mandated by Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 99-21-15. The damage was found to the sleeve, jacket,
and insulation on the electrical wire. The sleeve was worn through at three locations. At two of the
locations the damage was also through the jacket of the electrical wire and exposed the insulation on
the electrical wire inside the jacket. The wear did not expose the conductor of the electrical wire. The
damage was found approximately 21,000 hours after installation of the sleeve. The 21,000 hours is
less than the 30,000 repeat inspection interval hours specified in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Airworthiness Directive AD 99-21-15.
Boeing has issued this service bulletin as a final solution to this condition and to replace Boeing Service
Bulletin 737-28A1263. Accomplishment of this service bulletin installs new shielded wire bundles in
convoluted liners in the wing and center fuel tank conduits. The convoluted liner will decrease the
chance of wire bundle damage. The new shielded wiring will provide a ground path for the Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI) to trip if there is shorting in the wiring. This installation will help prevent a potential
ignition sources that can cause consequent fire or explosion. The GFI is installed by Boeing Service
Bulletin 737-28A1212.
Group 1:
This change affects Airworthiness Limitations document D6-38278-CMR. The new Airworthiness
Limitation (AWL) that follows is added: 28-AWL-26 (for 737-100, -200, -200C airplanes). This AWL

This change affects Airworthiness Limitations document D6-38278-CMR. The new Airworthiness
Limitation (AWL) that follows is added: 28-AWL-25 (for 737-300, -400, -500 airplanes). This AWL
provides maintenance instructions and replaces the requirements of Airworthiness Limitation 28-AWL-18.
Group 3:
Boeing endorses the FAA rules related to Limit of Validity (LOV) and recommends immediate and
permanent removal from service of any airplanes upon reaching the LOV, whether or not it is operated
under FAA jurisdiction. As such, Boeing no longer provides maintenance instructions for airplanes that
have accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV. Airplanes in Group 3 (line numbers 1-291) have
accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV of the maintenance program. 14 CFR 121.1115 and 129.115
prohibit operation of an airplane beyond its LOV.
Accomplishment of the work in accordance with this service bulletin gives terminating action to the
repeat inspections in accordance with service bulletin 737-28A1263.

Revision 1 is sent to incorporate changes found during two validations of this service bulletin. This
revision also deletes two figures that remove the fuel boost pumps, because removal of the fuel boost
pumps is not necessary. Subsequent Figures are renumbered accordingly.
D. Description
Group 1-2:
Get access to the forward cargo compartment between stations 500A and 520. Install new ground
bracket at station 520 on the left and right side of the forward cargo compartment. Get access to the
left wing and right wing leading edge, tank No.1 and tank No.2 aft fuel boost pumps, left and right center
tank fuel boost pumps, and center fuselage splice areas. Remove or stow fuel boost pump wire bundles
from between the left, right and center fuel boost pumps and the center fuselage splice area. Do a test
of the fuel boost pump conduits for leaks, and repair or replace conduit if any leak is found. Install new
wire bundles and convoluted liners in the left, right, and center fuel boost pump conduits and connect
wire bundles to each fuel boost pump. Route new wire bundles along the left and right wing leading
edge to center fuselage splice area and connect. Do a test of the fuel boost pumps. Close tank No.1
and tank No.2 aft fuel boost pump access panels, and left and right center tank fuel boost pump access
panels. Close access to the forward cargo compartment between stations 500A and 520.

Group 3:
Boeing endorses the FAA rules related to Limit of Validity (LOV) and recommends immediate and
permanent removal from service of any airplanes upon reaching the LOV, whether or not it is operated
under FAA jurisdiction. As such, Boeing no longer provides maintenance instructions for airplanes that
have accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV. Airplanes in Group 3 (line numbers 1-291) have
accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV of the maintenance program. 14 CFR 121.1115 and 129.115
prohibit operation of an airplane beyond its LOV.
