FAA proposes 737 fuel system changes
FAA proposes airworthiness changes to wiring and vent systems on early and current 737 models to reduce risk of sparks in fuel tanks. The move follows the TWA 800 crash probe and parallels a prior 747 rule while excluding newer 737 variants due to wiring differences. Investigators consider electrical sources and heat as possible ignition paths in center wing tanks.
