               Background:  This Directive requires, among other actions, a one-time detailed visual inspection of the FQIS wiring and fuel tubing to determine if clearance exists between the FQIS wire harness and the refuel tube and tube coupling, and to detect any loose or broken refuel tube clamp or bracket or chafing of the FQIS wire harness.

               These actions are necessary to detect and correct chafing and to prevent electrical contact between the FQIS wiring and the surrounding structure, which, in conjunction with another wiring failure outside the fuel tank, could result in fire or explosion of the fuel tank.
