Integral fuel tanks were sealed at manufacture with sealant which has since been determined to be unsuitable for use in a high- octane fuel environment. Fuel Tank Repair Service Kit No SK-1 also specified the use of this sealant, but was subsequently reissued containing the correct sealant as Kit No SK-1A. The requirement of this AD will ensure against possible fuel contamination and/or flow interruption to the engine.
