SUBJECT: Fuel Level Sensors May Break Loose From Float Arm
PROBLEM:
After being installed in fuel tanks, certain Fuel Level Sensors may break loose from their float arms. Once a fuel level sensor breaks loose from its float arm, fuel level sensing becomes impossible. This problem occurs in the 166-7446 Fuel Level Sensor and the 194-7265 Fuel Level Sensor. AVSpare engineering is aware of this problem and has corrected this problem at the supplier. However, there is still a small population of the non-corrected 166-7446 Fuel Level Sensors and 194-7265 Fuel Level Sensors in dealer stock.
SOLUTION:
Before a new 166-7446 Fuel Level Sensor or 194-7265 Fuel Level Sensor is installed, it is very important to inspect the new sensor in order to ensure that the correction has been made. Illustration 1 shows the correction to this problem.
As shown in Illustration 1, a 3S-2093 tie wrap has been used to help secure the sensor to the float arm. If the new 166-7446 Fuel Level Sensor or 194-7265 Fuel Level Sensor is already secured to the float arm by a 3S-2093 tie wrap (as shown in Illustration 1), the sensor is ready to be installed. If the new 166-7446 Fuel Level Sensor or 194-7265 Fuel Level Sensor is not secured to the float arm with a 3S-2093 tie wrap, install a tie wrap as shown in Illustration 1.
Note: To ensure tightness, it is important that a 4C-5877 Cable-Tie Tool is used to secure the 3S-2093 tie wrap around the fuel level sensor and the float arm.
