REVISION HISTORY Initial Release: January 30, 1997 Revision 1: December 31, 1998 Revision 2: January 31, 2002 767-57A0060 Revision Transmittal Page 2 of 2

Commercial Airplane Group 767 Service Bulletin Number: 767-57A0060 SummaryDate: January 30, 1997 Revision 2: January 31, 2002 ATA System: 5740 2781 2811 SUBJECT: WINGS - Leading Edge and Leading Edge Devices - Slat Track Housing - Drain Tube Fuel Leak Inspection and Rework

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None

BACKGROUND This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for fuel leaks from the number 5 and 8 inboard slat track housing drain locations near the engine exhaust nozzles. Instructions are also given to rework or replace the slat track housing drain tube assembly as required. Fuel leaks from these drain locations could result in a fire when the airplane is standing still or in a low speed taxi.

Accomplishment of this service bulletin will ensure the integrity of the drain tubes common to the slat track housing and prevent possible fuel leaks near an engine or exhaust nozzle when the airplane is on the ground.

One operator reported a fuel leak from a slat track housing drain tube where the drain tube penetrates the lower wing skin. Further investigation revealed the fuel leak originated from a loose drain tube fitting. Six other operators have also reported fuel leaks from the slat track housing drain tube where the drain tube penetrates the lower wing skin.

Further investigation revealed the fuel leaks originated from a crack in each of the drain tubes.

The slat track housing drain tubes provide a drain path for moisture which can accumulate inside the slat track housing. The drain tubes are located inside the wing fuel tanks. Cracks in the drain tubes or a loose fitting can result in fuel migration into the drain tubes.

As part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VE066 by Service Bulletin 767-57A0060 Validation Copy 1 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. The change completed on airplane VE066 by Service Bulletin 767-57A0060 Validation Copy 1 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin except airplane VE066 requires more work as shown in PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-57-0072 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRRB12900-133) Inspect the exterior lower wing surface for fuel leaks at the inboard slat track housing drain location of each wing.

If an indication of a fuel leak is found:

1. Rework the drain tube per PART II - REWORK and repeat the PART I - VISUAL INSPECTION until the PART III - TERMINATING ACTION is completed or,

2. Replace the drain tube per PART III - TERMINATING ACTION.

Group 2 airplanes rework the drain tube per PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK.

EFFECTIVITY All 767 airplanes line positions 1 through 671 divided in two groups.

COMPLIANCE See Figure 1 for compliance recommendations and maintenance alternatives. For the Group 2 airplane Boeing recommends the PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK be completed within 5000 flight-cycles or 22 months, whichever is earlier from the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive 2001-14-19, Amendment 39-12330, is related to this service bulletin.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-57-0072 is related to this service bulletin.

As part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VE066 by Service Bulletin 767-57A0060 Validation Copy 1 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. The change completed on airplane VE066 by Service Bulletin 767-57A0060 Validation Copy 1 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin except airplane VE066 requires more work as shown in PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK.

Revision 1 is sent to add terminating action to this service bulletin as follows:

1. Figures 3, 4, 5 and the PART - III TERMINATING ACTION are added to provide instructions to install a new slat track housing drain tube assembly for Group 1 and 2 airplanes.

2. Figure 6 and PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK are added to provide instructions to rework the slat track housing drain tube assembly for the Group 2 airplane that incorporated PART III - TERMINATING ACTION as specified in Validation Copy 1.

3. Manpower tables are added for installation of the new slat track housing drain tube assembly.

4. Kit and Material Availability information is added for the new slat track housing drain tube installation.

Revision 2 is sent to:

Add information that Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2001-14-19, Amendment 39-12330 is related to this service bulletin.

Delete flag note 2 in Figure 1. Flag note 2 allowances for an MPD inspection did not meet the minimum fuel requirements for the leak check inspections given in this service bulletin.

Clarify the rivet diameter and screw length in the fastener tables of Figures 4, 5 and 6.

Add minimum fuel requirements for the leak check inspection to Part III and Part IV of the Accomplishment Instructions.

January 30, 1997 767-57A0060 Revision 2: January 31, 2002 6

BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 767-57A0060 Add a material call out to the operators supplied material section for the slat track drain tube shim allowance added to Figures 4 and 5.

Clarify the BMS 5-95 sealant call out in Figures 4, 5 and the operator supplied material section.

Add lockwire MS20995AB32 to the operators supplied material section and clarify the lockwire diameter call out for Figures 3, 4 and 5.

Add the data given in Information Notice 767-57A0060 IN 01.

D. Description Inspect the exterior lower wing surface for fuel leaks at the inboard slat track housing drain location of each wing.

If an indication of a fuel leak is found:

1. Rework the drain tube per PART II - REWORK and repeat the PART I - VISUAL INSPECTION until the PART III - TERMINATING ACTION is completed or,

2. Replace the drain tube per PART III - TERMINATING ACTION.

Group 2 airplanes rework the drain tube per PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK.

No more work is necessary on Group 1 airplanes inspected or reworked as shown in the initial release of this service bulletin as a result of this revision. However, repeat inspections are required until terminating action is accomplished.

More work is necessary on the Group 2 airplane VE066 reworked as shown in the Validation Copy 1 release of this service bulletin. After the validation of this service bulletin was completed on VE066 additional grounding requirements were added as given in the PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK.

The airplane effectivity is divided into two groups. Group 1 consists of airplanes that have not had terminating action incorporated prior to release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. Group 2 consist of the airplane that had terminating action incorporated as specified in Validation Copy 1 of this service bulletin.

An evaluation form is attached to this service bulletin. Please use this form to tell us what you think of the quality of this service bulletin.

NOTE: Inspection, rework and maintenance alternatives are shown in a diagram in Section 3., ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS.

E. Compliance See Figure 1 for compliance recommendations and maintenance alternatives. For the Group 2 airplane Boeing recommends the PART IV - ADDITIONAL WORK be completed within 5000 flight-cycles or 22 months, whichever is earlier from the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.
