AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2004-23-04
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2004-23-04
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319 and A320 series airplanes, that requires a modification and replacement affecting all fuel tanks. All affected airplanes require the installation of fuses in the wiring of the fuel quantity indicating probes of all fuel tanks. Some affected airplanes also require replacement of the high level sensors of the additional center tanks (ACTs) with new sensors. For all affected airplanes,these actions are necessary to prevent overheating of the fuel probes due to a short circuit. For some affected airplanes, these actions are necessary to prevent fuel leakage due to inadequate space for thermal expansion within the ACTs. Such conditions could result in fuel vapors or fuel contacting an ignition source and/or consequent fire/explosion in the center fuel tanks. These actions are intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
