The FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) located in Wichita, Kansas, provided the following article.

Recently the FAA received a Safety Recommendation applicable to the fuel tank vent installation description as shown in the maintenance manual for the Cessna Model 152 airplanes.

The picture shown in this maintenance manual can be perceived as showing the fuel tank vent line as being located toward the bottom of the fuel tank rather than toward the top as intended and also described in the written text above the suspect picture.

Since as people often say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Cessna has agreed to provide a change to the applicable maintenance manuals when future revisions to the manuals are initiated.

This article has been coordinated with Cessna Aircraft Company and is intended to provide early notification to these changes.
