BACKGROUND

This service bulletin provides instructions to operators to perform an Engine Fuel Suction Feed Operational Test

on each engine individually. This test is required in order to protect against engine flameout during suction feed

operations. The instructions given in this service bulletin are provided to detect and correct failure of the engines

fuel suction feed of the fuel system, which could result in dual engine flameout and inability to restart the engines,

and consequent forced landing of the airplane.

Accomplishing the fuel system suction feed test and continuing to repeat the testing within the specified compliance

times will reduce the possibility of an engine flameout resulting from air ingestion into the engine fuel feed system

during low fuel level conditions with inoperative boost pumps .

An Operator reported a 737-400 Engine No. 1 flameout during cruise. The Engine No. 2 continued to operate

normally. The flight crew conducted two restart attempts within the start envelope with no success then diverted

uneventfully. Another Operator reported a 737-300 Engine No. 2 flameout during taxi to the gate when the start

lever was placed in the idle position. Maintenance performed a vacuum test of the fuel feed system and found

a crack in the fuel feed tube. The fuel feed tube was replaced, and a vacuum test of the fuel feed system was

performed and passed successfully.

This table is provided to operators for planning purposes only. Refer to the applicable sections for more
