this AD or the general visual inspection required by requirement 2 of this AD if done.
             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 5 June 2006.
Background:  This AD results from reports of tape found in the wing fuel tanks.  The actions detailed in this AD are to prevent blocked fuel passages and fuel pump screens and the inability of the flight crew to transfer fuel from one wing tank to the other tank due to tape in the wing fuel tanks, which could result in a fuel imbalance and consequent failure of an engine; and to prevent contaminated fuel pump screens, engine fuel controls, and fuel nozzles due to tape adhesive dissolving in the fuel, which could result in potential erroneous readings of the fuel quantity indication system.
