2. Alternatively the intent of Service Instruction No. 1013 Rev 1 may be accomplished by developing a modification acceptable to the Secretary to;

Background: One instance of FWD combustion chamber drain hose and fuel manifold dump valve hose cross connection resulted in significant quantities of water and other contaminants reaching the nacelle tank via the combustion drain and collector tank. Because of the occurrence AD/BEECH 200/42 was issued requiring an immediate inspection of all affected aircraft. This Directive is amended to extend the applicability for aircraft serial numbers below BT-17 and introduce the installation of modified engine drain lines.
