within the fuel tank areas.  This design change is identified by modification number JM41659.  Additionally, SB J41-28-013 provides instructions to inspect the existing bonding leads, to replace any defective leads and to examine all fuel system pipe runs in the wings to ensure appropriate clearances are maintained.

             Insufficient or defective bonding in the fuel tank area, if not corrected, could lead to ignition of fuel vapours and subsequent fuel tank explosion.

             For the reason stated above, this Directive requires the installation of additional bonding leads, inspection of existing bonding leads and all fuel system pipe runs in the wings together with follow-on corrective actions, as necessary.
