4. Procedure
Subtask 73-11-30-230-050-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Do a fluorescent penetrant inspection to make sure of actual or suspected cracks in fuel manifolds or tubes (Ref. AMM TASK 70-51-00-230-001).
Subtask 73-11-30-210-050-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Do a visual inspection of the items that follow:
INSPECT/CHECK
MAXIMUM SERVICEABLE LIMITS
REMARKS
1.Fuel manifold tubes for:


  • Cracks, splits or kinks.
Not serviceable.
Replace the engine.
  • Wrinkles in bends.
The depth must not be more than 3 percent of the nominal tube diameter or 1.52 mm (0.06 in.) deep whichever is smaller.
Replace the engine.
  • Dents.
No more than 2 in each linear foot, provided the depth is not more than 20 percent of the tube OD and the radius is not less than 2 times the thickness of the tube wall.
Replace the engine.
  • Flat areas.
Length must not be more than 2 times the tube OD, or the contour change must not be more than 10 percent of the tube OD.
Replace the engine.
  • Nicks, scratches, chafing or scores in the straight or bent sections.
0.005 in. (0.12 mm) maximum depth.
Replace the engine.
2.Tube coupling nuts for:


  • Damaged corners.
Any amount provided you can get the correct torque.
Replace the engine.
  • Damaged thread.
One-half thread total or continuous not there.
Replace the engine.
  • Lockwire hole deformation and wear.
Permitted provided the metal around the hole is not cracked or torn.
Replace the engine.
  • Lockwire hole torn open.
Permitted provided one hole for each coupling nut stays intact.
Replace the engine.
3.Fitting seating surfaces for:
NOTE: Do this portion of the fuel manifold inspection if you think you have a leak, if you find damage after you remove a fuel nozzle, or if you see visual damage.
NOTE: If not already done, disconnect the fuel supply tube from applicable fuel nozzle (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-40-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-40-400-001).


  • Circumferential and axial scratches in areas A and C.
Any amount 0.13 mm (0.005 in.) or less in depth after the removal of high metal.
Replace the engine.
  • Circumferential scratches in area B.
Any amount that cannot be felt using a 1 mm (0.04 in.) radius ball scribe.
Replace the engine.
  • Axial scratches in area B.
Not serviceable.
Replace the engine.
  • Nicks and pits in area C.
Any amount less than 0.81 mm (0.03 in.) after blending.
Replace the engine.
  • Nicks and pits in areas A and B.
Not serviceable.
Replace the engine.
  • Circumferential score marks on the silver plated sealing (mating surfaces).
Any amount, provided that the score mark does not go through the parent metal.
Replace the engine.
  • Circumferential deformation (spreading) of the tube/ferrule or flare nut.
Any amount, provided that the nut turns freely.
Replace the engine.
  • Axial deformation (dishing) of the spherical seat fitting surface.
Any amount, provided that the depth is constant and is less than 0.13 mm (0.005 in.) normal to surface.
Replace the engine.
