(4)These serial numbers are the best available data .
B. Description Fuel tubes with improved four-bolt swivel retaining tube flanges are identified. Instructions for replacemen t are provided.
C. Compliance Category 3 GE recommends that you do at next shop visit of eng ine or when old tube is disconnected for on-wing maintenance.
This Service Bulletin is offered to improve the rel iability or performance of your GE product, or to prevent the o ccurrence of the event or condition described in this Service Bulletin.
If the operator elects not to participate in the bu lletin, that decision will be taken into consideration by G E in evaluating future product performance issues that m ay arise in the operator's fleet.
D. Reason
(1)Objective:
REDUCE SIGNIFICANT EVENTS - IN-FLIGHT SHUTDOWNS/ABO RTED
TAKEOFFS Make the fuel tubes more reliable.
(2)Condition:
A swivel flange (figure 1 and figure 2) on the old tube may hang up on the tube ferrule and cause a significant fuel leak. Since the original of this Service Bulletin i ssued, several old tubes have leaked after maintenance and caused aborted takeoffs and in-flight shutdowns.
(3)Cause:
The geometry of the old tubes does not prevent hang ups of swivel flanges on tube ferrules.
(4)Improvement:
The new flanges are chamfered and self-centering t o avoid hang ups on the ferrule. Also, washers are deleted and shorter bolts incorporated to achieve commonality w ith adjacent fuel tube flange fastener hardware.
Substantiation:
A graphical computer model and calculations verify that the interferences are eliminated.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: DO NOT USE AVIATION TURBINE FUEL (JET FUEL) NEAR FL AMES OR HEAT, BECAUSE THIS FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. DO NOT LET THE FUEL ST AY ON YOUR BODY OR CLOTHES. THIS FUEL IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR SKIN AND EY ES. DO NOT BREATHE THE FUMES RELEASED FROM THIS FUEL. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD FLOW OF AIR. THESE
FUMES ARE DANGEROUS TO YOUR LUNGS, CAN GIVE YOU A H EADACHE, AND CAN MAKE YOU SICK.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE FUEL FLOWMETER TUB ES OR REPLACING THE SEAL GASKET (J219P05) THE FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE S HOULD BE FOLLOWED TO AVOID POTENTIAL HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS:
A. For CF6-80C2A1/A2/A3/A5/A8/B1/B2/B4/B6 engines, replace the MEC to flowmeter fuel tube 1334M88G01 (figure 1).
(1) Use a suitable container to catch fuel. Remove four bolts and washers at each end of the MEC to flowmeter fue l tube.
NOTE: Brackets and/or spray shields of various configurat ions may be retained by the bolts for the MEC to flowmeter fuel tube. Du ring removal, note the orientations of these parts and reinstall them in the same orientations.
(2)Remove MEC to flowmeter fuel tube 1334M88G01.
(3)Clean flange surfaces to make sure no debris is present.
(4) Inspect seal gasket prior to installation to make s ure no nicks or tears exist on the O-ring seal.
(5)Lightly lubricate seals with engine oil (02 C-0 19).
(6)Replace one preformed packing J221P217 and one seal gasket (J219P05) and install MEC to flowmeter fuel tube 1334M88G03
(7)Install four bolts MS9557-10 to a finger tight condition, without washers, to attach the MEC to flowmeter fue l tube CF6-80C2 Alert Service Bulletin No 73- A0231 R02 Revised:
