SLOSHED FUEL TANK 100 HOUR INSPECTION.
WARNING: SLOSHING OF FUEL TANKS PROHIBITED.
Replacement of fuel tanks which have previously been sloshed is recommended. If the fuel tank must
remain in service, each 100 hours inspect as follows:
(1) The entire interior of the tank should be inspected with the tank drained. Use a mirror and
inspection light through the filler neck, or sight gauge hole, if appropriate, and inspect for peeling
of the sloshing compound. Small scrapes in the film adjacent to the filler neck may be disregarded
provided there is no indication of peeling.
(2) If peeling has occurred and separated material is found, the tank must be removed and replaced.
