ATA 28

Fuel Distibution:
On Oct 26, 2008, IAI released SB 1124-28-155 Rev 1. This is a result of an investigation of smoke and burning of the boost pump wiring on the Westwind aircraft during maintenance. The conclusion was to replace the existing relays with units that provide better protection against overload situations. The original relays are no longer available.
