AD/BELL 206/96 Fuel Supply Tube Assembly 11/2008

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 23 October 2008.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1984, required replacement of the aluminium fuel supply tube assembly with stainless steel tube in accordance with Bell Alert Service Bulletin 206-84-22 to prevent corrosion of the fuel tube.  The AD compliance was within 100 hours time in service after 31 March 1984.  As all aircraft would have replaced the fuel supply lines by now, the AD is no longer required.
