Subtask 28-21-00-941-078-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Safety Precautions
WARNING: OBEY THE FUEL SAFETY PROCEDURES.
   (1) You must obey the fuel safety procedures when you do work on the fuel system (Ref. AMM TASK 28-00-00-910-001).
   (2) Put the SAFETY BARRIER(S) in position.
Subtask 28-21-00-860-084-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CIRCUITS IN MAINTENANCE ARE ISOLATED BEFORE YOU SUPPLY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT. UNWANTED ELECTRICAL POWER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
   (1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
   (2) Refuel (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-003), defuel (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-001) or transfer fuel (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-869-001) as necessary so that:
  • the center tank is empty
  • the left wing tank inner-cell contains a minimum of 750 kg (1653 lb) of fuel.
   (3) Drain the remaining fuel from the center tank (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-003).
4. Procedure
WARNING: WHEN YOU OPERATE THE FUEL PUMPS DURING A MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, A MAINTENANCE PERSON MUST BE IN THE COCKPIT. THIS PERSON MUST STOP THE PUMPS WHEN THE LOW PRESSURE FAULT LIGHT(S) (ON PANEL 40VU) COME ON, TO PREVENT OPERATION OF THE PUMPS(S) WITHOUT FUEL ('DRY RUNNING'). OPERATION OF THE PUMPS WITHOUT FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

A. Functional Test of the Center-Tank Pump-Canister Check-Valves
NOTE: This test is for 84QM. For 85QM use the indications in parenthesis.
   (1) Put a CONTAINER 1 L (1/4 USGAL) below the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA).
   (2) Remove the drain plug (2) from the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA). Let the fuel drain from the center tank fuel pump 37QA(38QA).
   (3) Install the drain plug (2) in the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA).
   (4) Remove the container from below the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA).
   (5) On the panel 40VU, push in the L (R) TK PUMPS 1 and 2 push button switches (P/BSWs).
   (6) Let the wing tank pumps operate for 5 minutes.
   (7) On the panel 40VU, release out the L (R) TK PUMPS 1 and 2 P/BSWs.
   (8) Put an empty CONTAINER 1 L (1/4 USGAL) below the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA).
   (9) Remove the drain plug (2) and the O-ring (1) from the center tank fuel-pump 37QA (38QA). Let the fuel drain from the center tank fuel pump 37QA(38QA).
   (10) Measure the quantity of fuel removed from the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA). The amount of fuel drained from the center tank fuel-pump 37QA(38QA) must not be more than 0.25 l (0.07 USgal).
   (11) Lubricate the new AIPC 28-21-51-01-100 SEALING RING (1) with Turbine Fuel-- Kerosene - (Material No.01ABA1) or Mineral Oil base Grease-- Vaseline or Petrolatum - (Material No.03FAB1) .
   (12) Install the sealing ring (1) and the drain plug (2).
   (13) Safety the drain plug (2) with 14QFB1Wire-Locking Dia: 0.8 mm CRES Nickel Alloy -.
   (14) Refuel (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-003) or transfer fuel (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-869-001) as necessary so that the right wing tank inner-cell contains a minimum 750 kg (1653 lb) of fuel.
   (15) Repeat this test procedure for the right center tank fuel-pump.
5. Close-up
