“This Service Bulletin is associated with the Fuel Tank Safety Program” 

General – The Introduction of Improved Bonding Provisions outside the Fuel Tanks. 

1. Planning Information

A. Effectivity 

(1) F27 Mark 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 aircraft: 

All serial numbers. 

NOTE: Fuel Tank Safety program is not applicable to F27 Mark 100. 

(2) Production version of this modification: Not applicable. 

B. Concurrent Requirements 

(1) Not applicable. 

C. Reason 

(1) The Design Review of the F27 Mark 200/300/400/500/600/700 fuel system in 

accordance with the guidelines related to FAA SFAR 88 and JAA INT/POL/25/12 

revealed that an unsafe condition may develop because no controlled bonding 

provisions are present on a number of critical locations, inside the Fuel Tank or 

connected to the Fuel Tank Wall. 

(2) This Service Bulletin gives instructions for the introduction of additional electrical 

bonding provisions that do not require opening of the fuel tanks access panels.

(1) This revision is made to: 

- Remove the bonding improvement of the Sniffle Valve lines in the Description and 

 in Figure 1. 

 This bonding improvement is included in Revision 1 of SBF27-28-071, because it 

 also requires access inside the fuel tank.

improved bonding outside the fuel tanks to the Ventilation lines. 

For an impression of the bonding improvement see Figure 1.
