## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Textron Lycoming fuel injected reciprocating engines with certain Crane/Lear Romec ``AN'' rotary fuel pumps installed. This action requires initial and repetitive torque check inspections of pump relief valve attaching screws. In addition, if the torque remains within acceptable values after two inspections, the repetitive torque check inspections may be terminated. This amendment is prompted by reports of inflight engine fires caused by leaking rotary fuel pumps. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent rotary fuel pump leaks, which could result in an engine failure, engine fire, and damage to or loss of the aircraft.
