Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700IGW, and -800 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2002-14-21. Comply with the one in force.
Model 737-600, -700, -700IGW, and -800 series airplanes; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700IGW, and -800 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the quick-disconnect coupling on the fuel hose, located at the fan case firewall; corrective action, if necessary; and installation of a clamp shell on the coupling to prevent separation of the coupling halves. This amendment is prompted by a report that a quick-disconnect coupling on the fuel hose on an in-service airplane was found loose and leaking fuel. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect and correct excessive wear of the quick-disconnect coupling on the fuel hose, which could result in major fuel leakage, fire in the engine nacelle, and consequent loss of thrust from the affected engine.
