This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of specified Thomas A. Edison and Garwin engine gauge units made before the listed manufacture dates to replace the diaphragm/capillary assembly with a newly identified assembly (marked by a 1/4 in. white band) and to fit an overboard fuel drain line from each fuel pressure gauge vent, routed so discharged fuel and fumes won’t create a fire or enter personnel compartments. Compliance is required before 31 November 1966, and the cost and work fall to aircraft owners/operators.
