300 Hour Inspection (cont)
CAUTION: INSPECTION FREQUENCY SHALL BE BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE EROSIVE
AND/OR CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT. THE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT MAY DICTATE A
MORE FREQUENT INSPECTION INTERVAL. WHEN OPERATING IN A CORROSIVE
AND/OR EROSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR NON--COATED COMPRESSOR WHEELS, THE
INSPECTION SHALL NOT EXCEED 300 HOURS OR 6 MONTHS. FOR COATED
COMPRESSOR WHEELS, INSPECTION SHALL NOT EXCEED 300 HOURS OR 12
MONTHS. IF ANY PARENT METAL IS EXPOSED DUE TO CORROSION AND/OR
EROSION, THE INSPECTION REQUIREMENT SHALL REVERT BACK TO 300 HOURS OR 6
MONTHS.
30 Inspect the compressor case when operating in an erosive PARA 1.C.(9),
and/or corrosive environment. this section
CAUTION: WHEN THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE FUEL PUMP FILTER HAS BEEN BYPASSED, THE
GAS PRODUCER FUEL CONTROL INLET FILTER, THE FUEL NOZZLE FILTER, THE
GOVERNOR FILTER AND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL FILTER, IF APPLICABLE, MUST BE
CLEANED. (REFER TO SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS, TABLE 603) IF ANY CONTAMINATION
IS FOUND IN THE FUEL NOZZLE FILTER, THIS WILL REQUIRE THAT THE FUEL
CONTROL BE SENT TO AN AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY FOR INTERNAL CLEANING.
REFERENCE MUST ALSO BE MADE TO THE AIRFRAME MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR
FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE FOLLOWING FUEL CONTAMINATION.
31 If the aircraft is equipped with an engine fuel filter differential PARA 1.F.,
pressure warning system, replace the throw--away filter only 73--10--01
when an indication of contamination is obtained or every 300
hours, whichever comes first. If the aircraft is not equipped
with a differential pressure warning system, replace the fuel
filter every 300 hours unless operating experience
demonstrates that smaller time increments are advisable.
Before discarding filter, inspect for signs of contaminants. If
contaminants are found, examine the entire fuel system and
clean if necessary. Verify Step 32 has been completed before
reassembly.
32 Do a fuel pump bypass valve operational check whenever a PARA 1.D.,
fuel filter is replaced. 73--10--01

FUEL NOZZLE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. General
CAUTION: MAKE SURE NOT TO DAMAGE THE NOZZLE SPRAY TIPS DURING REMOVAL.
A. Removal
Remove the fuel nozzle as follows:
(1) Remove lockwire and disconnect the fuel nozzle line.
(2) Remove lockwire; then using 23007638 wrench, unscrew the nozzle.
(3) Carefully remove nozzle assembly.
B. Installation
Install the fuel nozzle as follows:
(1) Apply a light coat of antiseize compound (NS165) to the fuel nozzle threads.
(2) Install the nozzle and tighten to 200300 lb in. (2334 N.m) using 23007638 wrench. Lockwire
to spark igniter.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
(3) Install the fuel hose and tighten coupling nut to 80120 lb in. (9.013.6 N.m). Secure with
lockwire.
(4) Check run the engine after fuel nozzle replacement. (Refer to Check Run, PARA 1.,
720000, EngineAdjustment/Test.)
2. Inspection/Cleaning
CAUTION: DO NOT DAMAGE THE MIRROR FINISH AND EDGES OF THE SPRAY TIPS DURING
THE CLEANING OPERATION.
A. Inspect and clean the fuel nozzle as follows:
NOTE: Removal of external carbon deposits from the fuel nozzle spray tip can correct a streaking
problem. Therefore, cleaning the spray tip may make it unnecessary to disassemble the
fuel nozzle.
(1) Check for damage or carbon deposits on spray tips. Figure 201 shows the condition of a
typical fuel nozzle removed from an operational engine. A nozzle in this condition should be
cleaned, if possible, before being reinstalled.
(2) Suspend the fuel nozzle vertically with the tip immersed approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) in
cleaning solvent (Brulin Safety Solvent No. 512 M or equivalent). Soak the tip for one hour, or
longer if deemed necessary, to remove all carbon. Use a soft bristle nylon brush, such as a
tooth brush, to remove any remaining carbon buildup from the nozzle tip. Be careful that
loosened carbon does not enter the spray tip.
(3) After carbon removal, flush the nozzle internally and externally using Stoddard solvent or
kerosene. Dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO DRY NOZZLE. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE
NOZZLE.
(4) Any damage to the nozzle spray tips is cause for replacement of the fuel nozzle assembly.
(5) Reject nozzles exceeding 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) max. wear on OD of the outer air shroud.
(6) Clean the face of the outer air shroud with a clean dry cloth; the air holes must be open. Be
careful that loosened carbon does not enter the spray tips.

CAUTION: DO NOT DAMAGE THE MIRROR FINISH AND EDGES OF THE SPRAY TIPS DURING
THE CLEANING OPERATION.

B. Inspect and clean the fuel nozzle as follows: (Alternate Procedure)

(1) Check for damage or carbon deposits on spray tips. Figure 201 shows the condition of a
typical fuel nozzle removed from an operational engine. A nozzle in this condition should be
cleaned, if possible, before being reinstalled.

(2) Suspend the nozzle vertically with the tip immersed approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) in Brulin 815
QR (or equivalent). Heating the solvent to 140_ F is optional. Approximately 8 hours is a
desired soak time. All carbon should be removed or loosened after this process.

(3) Use a soft bristle nylon brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove any remaining carbon buildup
from the nozzle tip. Be careful that loosened carbon does not enter the spray tip. After carbon
removal, flush the nozzle internally and externally using Stoddard solvent or kerosene. Dry
with a soft cloth.

(4) If carbon is still visible, soak nozzle tip in Turco 4181 (or equivalent) at 140_ F for two hours.
Flush nozzle thoroughly with hot water, then with Stoddard solvent or kerosene. Dry with a
soft cloth.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO DRY NOZZLE. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE
NOZZLE.

(5) If the nozzle is still streaking, carbon is probably not the issue. Send the nozzle to an
authorized facility for further inspection.

(6) Any damage to the nozzle spray tips is cause for replacement of the fuel nozzle.

(7) Reject nozzles exceeding 0.005 in. (0.13mm) maximum wear on the OD of the outer shroud.

(8) Clean the face of the outer air shroud with a clean dry cloth; the air holes must be open. Be
careful that loosened carbon does not enter the spray tips.

3. Disassembly

CAUTION: DISASSEMBLE WITH CARE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MIRROR FINISH AND
EDGES OF THE SPRAY TIP. THE NOZZLE SHOULD BE DISASSEMBLED IN A
CLEAN AREA AND CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DIRT OR OTHER
CONTAMINATION.

A. Disassemble the fuel nozzle as follows: (See Figure 202)

(1) Note the position of the lockwire on the fuel nozzle; then remove the lockwire.

(2) Count the number of visible threads on the outer air shroud. (Retain this number for
verification that the fuel nozzle will be correctly reassembled.)

CAUTION: IF A 6897875 FIXTURE IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE WRENCHING SURFACES OF

THE BODY MAY BE HELD IN A VISE. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE VISE. USE
CARE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY.

(3) Insert the fuel nozzle body in 6897875 holding fixture. Unscrew the outer air shroud.

(4) Carefully remove the spray tip assembly from the outer air shroud and the filter from the body.
No further disassembly is permitted.

4. Inspection of Disassembled Nozzle

A. Inspect the Disassembled Fuel Nozzle as follows:

(1) Inspect for signs of contamination and serviceability. Return the entire fuel nozzle to an
Authorized Distributor or Repair Facility if any of the following conditions are found:

(a) Any contamination of the filter assembly.

(b) Tears or cracks in the filter assembly.

(c) Collapsed screen in the filter assembly.

(d) Obvious contamination or damage to other portions of the fuel nozzle assembly.

(e) If the nozzle has been inadvertently disassembled further than allowed. (Refer to PARA
3.A., this Section.)

5. Assembly
A. Assemble the fuel nozzle as follows:
(1) Hold the body in a vertical position and insert the filter assembly.
(2) Place the spray tip assembly in the body. Make sure it is properly engaged with the filter.
NOTE: Make sure that the filter assembly remains seated on the spray tip assembly.
(3) Retain the nozzle in a vertical position. Screw the outer air shroud onto the body.
(4) Verify that the nozzle has been correctly assembled by counting the number of visible threads
on the outer air shroud. (Refer to PARA 3.A.(2), this Section.)
CAUTION: IF A 6897875 FIXTURE IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE WRENCHING SURFACES OF
THE BODY MAY BE HELD IN A VISE. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE VISE. USE
CARE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY.
(5) Insert the fuel nozzle in holding fixture 6897875 or a vise and tighten the outer air shroud to
2530 lb ft (3441 N.m) and secure with 0.020 in. (0.05 mm) lockwire.
