4. Procedure

** ON A/C 001-010
Subtask 28-11-00-790-098-A

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE IN THE TANK IS NOT MORE THAN 0.1378
BAR (2.0 PSI). THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM.

A. Leak Test of the Left Wing Tank and the Center Tank - Without Fuel - Pressurized Air and Helium/Air
Procedure
(Ref. Fig. Helium Mapping Kit - Left Wing Tank and Center Tank - Connections SHEET 1)

NOTE: To do the test, use the applicable items from:


- The (DETTPS8001)
- The (DETW40052)
- The VENT PLUG KIT (DETTPSVPAI04)
- The AIRBUS HOLDER FOR VENT PLUGS (DETTPSH0AI00) and
- The DRAIN-WATER, INTERFACES (DETTPSTAAI001) .

(1) Connect the compressed air supply to the control unit (4).
(2) Connect the power supply and set the control unit (4) switch to the ON position.
(3) Install the NACA plug holder (3) on the NACA plug (2).
(4) Install the NACA plug (2) on the left-wing NACA inlet.
(5) Make sure that the NACA plug (2) is connected to the control unit (4).
(6) Connect the water drain-valve adapter (1) from the control unit (4) to the water drain valve 25QM.
(7) Do an air leak test as follows:
(a) Operate the control unit (4) to start the air test.

NOTE: The system will automatically increase the pressure to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi).

(b) When the pressure has got to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi), monitor the pressure in the tank(s) for a period
of 10 minutes.
(c) If the pressure in the tank(s) decreases to less than 0.09 bar (1.3 psi), find the exit point of the
leak.

28-11-00-790-802-A - Leak Test of the Wing Tanks and the Center
Tank - Without Fuel - Pressurized Air and Helium/Air Procedure

NOTE: The control unit (4) will keep the air pressure supplied to help to find the exit point of the
leak.

(d) Listen around the tank(s) boundaries for any hissing sounds of air pressure leak.
(e) If a hissing sound is heard, repair the leak.
(f) If the pressure in the tank(s) is stable at 0.09 bar (1.3 psi), operate the control unit (4) to
depressurize the tank(s).
(g) Make sure that the pressure in the tank(s) is back to atmospheric pressure.
(8) Do the air/helium leak test as follows:
(a) Connect the helium supply to the control unit (4).
(b) Set the control unit (4) to supply the air and the helium to the tank(s).
(c) Operate the control unit (4) to start the test.

NOTE: The system will automatically increase the pressure to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi).

(d) Wait for 10 minutes to let the helium mix with the air in the tank(s). This makes sure that there is
approximately 10 percent helium and 90 percent air.
(e) Use the portable helium detector to find the leak point on external surfaces of the tank(s).

NOTE: A fuel leak can move for a long distance in the aircraft structure. Compressed air can be
used to remove the helium build up in the area. This will make it easier to find the point of
the leak.

(f) Make a mark at each exit point as you find them.

NOTE: This will help you to find them when you do a leak test to find the source of the leak.

NOTE: The exit point of leakage can be at a long distance from the source of the leak.

NOTE: Air/helium can leak through the system valves and effect the test results.

(g) Operate the control unit (4) to depressurize the tank(s).


(h) Make sure that the pressure in the tank(s) is fully released before you continue.
(i) Get access to the applicable fuel tank(s) (Ref. AMM TASK 28-10-00-910-002) .
1 Make sure that the remaining helium content in the tank(s) is fully removed, to prevent the
background signal.
(j) Do a leak test at each of the exit points where you made a mark (Ref. AMM TASK 28-11-00-
790-009) .
(k) At source of each leak:
1 Do the necessary repair procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 51-76-12-300-001) .
2 Do the step (8) again to make sure that the leak is repaired.
(9) Remove the NACA plug (2) from the left-wing NACA inlet.
(10) Remove the NACA plug holder (3) from the NACA plug (2).
(11) Remove the water drain-valve adapter (1) from the water drain valve 25QM.
(12) Disconnect the compressed air supply and the helium supply from the control unit (4).

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE IN THE TANK IS NOT MORE THAN 0.1378
BAR (2.0 PSI). THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM.

B. Leak Test of the Right Wing Tank - Without Fuel - Pressurized Air and Helium/Air Procedure
(Ref. Fig. Helium Mapping Kit - Right Wing Tank - Connections SHEET 1)

NOTE: To do the test, use the applicable items from:


- The (DETTPS8001)
- The (DETW40052)
- The PLUGS-NACA VENT (DETTPSVPAI07)
- The AIRBUS HOLDER FOR VENT PLUGS (DETTPSH0AI00) and
- The DRAIN-WATER, INTERFACES (DETTPSTAAI001) .

(1) Connect the compressed air supply to the control unit (2).
(2) Connect the power supply and set the control unit (2) switch to the ON position.
(3) Install the NACA plug holder (3) on the NACA plug (4).
(4) Install the NACA plug (4) on the right-wing NACA inlet.
(5) Make sure that the NACA plug (4) is connected to the control unit (2).
(6) Connect the water drain-valve adapter (1) from the control unit (2) to the water drain valve 26QM.
(7) Do an air leak test as follows:
(a) Operate the control unit (2) to start the air test.

NOTE: The system will automatically increase the pressure to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi).

(b) When the pressure has got to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi), monitor the pressure in the tank for a period of
10 minutes.
(c) If the pressure in the tank decreases to less than 0.09 bar (1.3 psi), find the exit point of the leak.

NOTE: The control unit (2) will keep the air pressure supplied to help to find the exit point of the
leak.

(d) Listen around the tank boundaries for any hissing sounds of air pressure leak.

(e) If a hissing sound is heard, repair the leak.


(f) If the pressure in the tank is stable at 0.09 bar (1.3 psi), operate the control unit (2) to
depressurize the tank.
(g) Make sure that the pressure in the tank is back to atmospheric pressure.
(8) Do the air/helium leak test as follows:
(a) Connect the helium supply to the control unit (2).
(b) Set the control unit (2) to supply the air and the helium to the tank.
(c) Operate the control unit (2) to start the test.

NOTE: The system will automatically increase the pressure to 0.10 bar (1.5 psi).

(d) Wait for 10 minutes to let the helium mix with the air in the tank. This makes sure that there is
approximately 10 percent helium and 90 percent air.
(e) Use the portable helium detector to find the leak point on external surfaces of the tank.

NOTE: A fuel leak can move for a long distance in the aircraft structure. Compressed air can be
used to remove the helium build up in the area. This will make it easier to find the point of
the leak.

(f) Make a mark at each exit point as you find them.

NOTE: This will help you to find them when you do a leak test to find the source of the leak.

NOTE: The exit point of leakage can be a long distance from the source of the leak.

NOTE: Air/helium can leak through the system valves and effect the test results.

(g) Operate the control unit (2) to depressurize the tank.


(h) Make sure that the pressure in the tank is fully released before you continue.
(i) Get access to the applicable fuel tank(s) (Ref. AMM TASK 28-10-00-910-002) .
1 Make sure that the remaining helium content in the tank is fully removed, to prevent the
background signal.
(j) Do a leak test at each of the exit points where you made a mark (Ref. AMM TASK 28-11-00-
790-009) .
(k) At source of each leak:
1 Do the necessary repair procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 51-76-12-300-001) .
2 Do the step (8) again to make sure that the leak is repaired.
(9) Remove the NACA plug (4) from the right-wing NACA inlet.
(10) Remove the NACA plug holder (3) from the NACA plug (4).
(11) Remove the water drain-valve adapter (1) from the water drain valve 26QM.
(12) Disconnect the compressed air supply and the helium supply from the control unit (2).
