THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
An operator reported fuel odor in the cabin. Fuel was found leaking from a cracked fuel line shroud in the left
cargo compartment equipment tunnel. There have been a minimum of 10 fuel shroud leaks in the same area
since 2001. The Continued Operational Safety Program has made this an "airplane level safety issue" because
of the quantity of fuel found below the cargo compartment floor. The current maintenance planning document
recommends a check of the fuel shroud system drains at each 1 A check and an air pressure leak check of the
fuel shroud system at each 2 C check. Increasing the frequency of the fuel shroud system drain checks and
adding an eddy current inspection of the fuel line shrouds between the existing air pressure leak checks will
determine the condition of the fuel shrouds. If a cracked condition of a fuel shroud is not corrected, continued
operation of an airplane could result in fuel accumulation below the cargo compartment floor and consequent
increased risk of fire.
This table is provided to operators for planning purposes only. Refer to the applicable sections for more
information.

ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS, DEATH
OR INJURY TO PERSONS CAN OCCUR.
WARNING: IF ELECTRICAL POWER IS APPLIED TO THE AIRPLANE, MAKE SURE YOU OBEY
ALL PRECAUTIONS WHILE YOU DO WORK. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE
PRECAUTIONS, DEATH OR INJURY TO PERSONS, AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE
CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION: ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE AIRPLANE. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT DAMAGE
TO THE AIRPLANE OR EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION:  KEEP THE WORK AREA, WIRES AND ELECTRICAL BUNDLES CLEAN OF METAL
PARTICLES OR CONTAMINATION WHEN YOU USE TOOLS. UNWANTED MATERIAL,
METAL PARTICLES OR CONTAMINATION CAUGHT IN WIRE BUNDLES CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE BUNDLES. DAMAGED WIRE BUNDLES CAN CAUSE SPARKS OR
OTHER ELECTRICAL DAMAGE.
NOTE: 1.  Manual titles are referred to by acronyms. Refer to Paragraph 1.J., References, for
definition of the acronyms.
2.  Equivalent parts are listed in the AEPL, Drawing 7595071.
3.  Use the approved fastener and process material substitutions, in accordance with
MD-11 SRM 51.
4.  If the length of any fastener specified in this service bulletin does not meet installation
standards given in Structural Repair Manual (SRM) Chapter 51, then a fastener of
the same specification, or an approved substitute, with a length which meets the
installation standards given in SRM Chapter 51 may be used. In addition, washers
may be installed for fastener grip length in accordance with SRM Chapter 51. Refer
to SOPM 20-50-01 for alternate full threaded fasteners (screws) needed for installation
in this service bulletin.
5.  A 1/8-inch thick stack of the same type washers called for in this service bulletin is
the maximum thickness which may be used under fastener head or nut to counteract
accumulation of tolerances.
EXCEPTION: When the available fastener length increments are greater than
1/16-inch, a 3/16-inch thick stack of the same type washers may be used.
6.  Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are used:
Linear dimensions are in inches
Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge margins, is plus
or minus 0.03 inch.
Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch
Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees
Hole dimensions for standard solid rivets are in MD-11 SRM 51.

NOTE: You can do a check of the leakage for more than or less than 24 hours of time. To
do so, adjust the permitted leakage rate in proportion to the quantity of the time change. For
example: 4 fluid-ounces in 12 hours.
NOTE: If there is leakage from the aft valve, the leak source is the tail tank shroud drain line.
If there is leakage from the forward valve, the leak source is the Number 2 engine shroud
drain line.

(1) Do a pressure test of the tail tank fuel shroud drain system (Sheet 7 of 9) as follows:
(a) In the aft fuselage, disconnect the tail tank fuel drain line (1) at the drain mast (2).
(b) Disconnect the fuel drain lines (3) at the check valves (4) and install the plugs (5).
(c) Connect the 0-10 psi regulated dry-air source and the manometer to the drain line (1).
(d) On the forward spar of the tail tank, install a cap on the fill valve controller shroud can

CAUTION:
DO NOT PRESSURIZE THE SHROUD DRAIN LINE MORE THAN 5.3 PSI. TOO MUCH
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SHROUD DRAIN LINE.
(e) Pressurize the system to 4.5-5.0 psi.
(f) Close the air supply valve and monitor the air supply gage for the shroud drain system

Additional pressure tests are necessary to examine the drains which are now isolated by
the one way check/drain valve.

(a) In the aft fuselage, disconnect the tail tank fuel drain line (1) at the drain mast (2).
(b) Disconnect the in-line tee (3) upper fuel drain line (4) and cap the opening on the in-line
tee (3).
(c) Connect the 0-10 psi regulated dry-air source and the manometer to the disconnected
fuel drain line (1) located near the drain mast (2).
(d) On the forward spar of the tail tank, install a cap on the fill valve controller can vent (6).
POST MD11-28-115
NOTE: Because of a drain/check valves, it possibly is not necessary to install the cap.
POST MD11-28A056 OR MD11-28-115
CAUTION: DO NOT PRESSURIZE THE SHROUD DRAIN LINE MORE THAN 5.3 PSI. TOO
MUCH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SHROUD DRAIN LINE.
(e) Pressurize the system to 4.5-5.0 psi.
(f) Momentarily open the tail tank fuel drain valve (6) at poppet slot (7) to make sure air goes
out.
(g) Close the air supply valve and monitor the air supply gage for the shroud drain system
pressure decrease.
1) The pressure decrease must not be more than 1.0 psi in 5 minutes.
(h) Release the system pressure.
(i) Push up and turn the poppet slot (7) 90 degrees to lock open. Let air flow from the tail
tank fuel drain valve (6) for a 15 minutes or more to remove water.
0) Disconnect the regulated dry-air source and the manometer from the drain line (1).
(k) Remove the cap on the in-line tee (3) and connect the upper drain line (4) to the opening
on the in-line tee (3).
(I) Remove the cap on the fill valve controller can vent (5).
