“The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 and DC-10-30F airplanes. This AD
requires installing Teflon sleeving around the fuel pump wire harness
inside the conduit in the aft supplemental fuel tank. This AD results
from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.” [Federal Register: June 29, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 125)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 35642-35643]
