BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 747-24A2168 B. Reason This service bulletin is issued to inspect the clearance between the fuel tube and the power feeder cables in number 2 and 3 struts, and to install the power feeder support brackets to separate the cables from the fuel tube. On one airplane, a hole developed in number 2 strut fuel tube due to chafing between the fuel tube and the power feeder cables. This resulted in a fire in number 2 strut.

Revision 1 is sent to formalize the service bulletin that was originally sent telegraphically, to add the modification that will terminate the clearance inspection, to add two groups of airplanes to the service bulletin effectivity, and to revise the strut drain inspection in Step G of Section III, Accomplishment Instructions.

Revision 2 is sent to allow usages of the optional brackets and clarify usages of the support brackets and the wire support clamps.

Revision 3 is sent to add a step to remove the pneumatic duct for access to the installation area and a step to check the clearance between the bracket and the adjacent pneumatic duct. Installation of optional spacers is added if required to increase the clearance between power feeder cables and the bracket. Installation of optional spacers is added if required to fill the gap between the inboard leg of new bracket and the existing bracket.

C. Description Phase I: At the first opportunity where manpower and facilities are available, the clearance between the power feeder cables and the fuel tube in number 2 and 3 struts is inspected on Group 1 and 2 airplanes, and in number 3 strut on Group 3 airplanes. Within 1000 flight hours, the clearance between the power feeder cables and the fuel tube in number 3 strut is inspected on Group 4 airplanes.

Phase II: Within 12 months after receipt of Revision 1 of this service bulletin, the cable support brackets are installed on Group 2, 3, and 4 airplanes to separate the power feeder cables from the fuel tube.

Airplane effectivity is divided into groups because of the requirement of the inspection and installation.

Revision 1 - No more work is necessary on Group 1 airplanes changed by the initial release of this service bulletin and more work is necessary on Group 2 airplanes changed by the initial release of this service bulletin.

Revision 2 - No more work is necessary on airplanes changed by Revision 1 of this service bulletin.

Revision 3 - No more work is necessary on airplanes changed by Revision 2 of this service bulletin.

The changes in this service bulletin will not change the Central Maintenance Computer System (CMCS).

NOTE: Evaluation of service bulletin 747-36-2112 is recommended during accomplishment of the changes specified in this service bulletin.
