To prevent fuel leakage caused by damaged fuel lines, which could result in an in-flight fire, accomplish the following:
(a) Inspect the electrical wires in the nose gear tunnel area and the fuel line to the engine-driven fuel pump for cracks or chafing.
(1) If any cracked or chafed electrical wire or fuel line is found, prior to further flight, replace with a new electrical wire or fuel line. Ensure that the electrical wires are bundled and route or clamp the wire bundle so there is a clearance of .25 inches between the wire bundle and fuel line to the engine-driven fuel pump.
(2) If no cracked or chafed electrical wire or fuel line is found, ensure that the electrical wires are bundled and route or clamp the wire bundle so there is a clearance of .25 inches between the wire bundle and fuel line to the engine-driven fuel pump.
