Compliance required by January 15, 1960.

To prevent clogging, the two fuel cell vent tubes which are located under the wings shall be modified in the following manner:

Measure a distance of 1/2-inch down from the bottom of the wing skin along the forward side of each protruding vent tube. At this point, cut the tube off at a 45-degree angle to the bottom skin so that the end of the tube remains square.
