SUBJECT:
MBE4000 – Fuel System – Inspection Procedure
The MBE 4000 service manual was released in June of 2002 to provide the field with important
technical information for MBE 4000 support.
Based upon our service experience over the past year, it has been determined that additional
material should be included to assist technicians servicing this engine. This information includes
both revised and additional material to current sections of the manual as well as new features that
will be added to the 2004 release of the engine.
The updated information will be sent in two formats, through Technical Service Letters and
Service Information Bulletins.
Attached to this letter is the first installment of the updated material: Fuel System – Inspection
Procedures.
