AD: Cessna

AD NUMBER: 2008-03-02
MANUFACTURER: Cessna
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-03-02
SUMMARY:
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 172R and 172S airplanes.

This AD requires you to inspect the fuel return line assembly for chafing; replace the fuel return line assembly if chafing is found; and inspect the clearance between the fuel return line assembly and both the right steering tube assembly and the airplane structure, adjusting as necessary.

This AD results from reports of chafed fuel return line assemblies, which were caused by the fuel return line assembly rubbing against the right steering tube assembly during full rudder pedal actuation.

We are issuing this AD to detect andcorrect chafing of the fuel return line assembly, which could result in fuel leaking under the floo rand fuel vapors entering the cabin. This condition could lead to fire under the floor or in the cabin area.
