Models named: 747-100, -100B, -100B SUD, -200B, -200C, -200F, -300, -400, -400D, -400F. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all The Boeing Company airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD. (1) Model 747-100, -100B, -100B SUD, -200B, -200C, -200F, -300, -400, -400D, -400F, 747SR, 747SP, -8F, and -8 series airplanes. (2) Model 767-200, -300, -300F, -400ER, and -2C series airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

No later than 60 days after the effective date of this AD: Operation of an airplane with any inoperative refuel valve (fueling shut-off valve) of the reserve tank (on Model 747 series airplanes only), main tank, or center tank that has failed in the open position is prohibited.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of an un-commanded fuel transfer between the main and center fuel tanks. The FAA is issuing this AD to address multiple refuel valves failed in the “open” position via Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) dispatch allowance, which allows un-commanded fuel transfer between fuel tanks. This condition could result in a fuel exhaustion event.

Affected ADs

None.
