Service Bulletin
Number: SB2X-28-06R2
Issued: July 20, 2007
Revised: March 26, 2014

SNS SUBJECT: 28-40 INDICATING - Fuel Level Sending Unit Sensor Dial Replacement

1. COMPLIANCE
This Service Bulletin shall be accomplished On Condition of fuel gage functionality. Proper fuel gage func-
tion is indicated by a steady needle dropping at regular intervals as fuel is consumed during flight. If proper
fuel gage functionality is observed, no further action is required.
This Service Bulletin has been revised to update the parts list.
Operators who have successfully complied with the original release of this Service Bulletin, dated 20 Jul
2007, or subsequent revisions need take no further action if proper fuel gage functionality is observed.
2. EFFECTIVITY
Cirrus Design SR22 serial numbers 2334, 2420, 2438 thru 3354.
3. APPROVAL
FAA approval has been obtained on all technical data in this Service Bulletin that affects type design.
4. PURPOSE
Cirrus Design recently discovered a condition where some fuel level sending units could transmit inaccu-
rate fuel quantity information to the center console fuel gage.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the potentiometers in the sensor dials were faulty from the man-
ufacturer. It was also noted that at higher fuel quantities, the inaccurate information from these fuel level
sending units would typically cause the center console fuel gage to indicate more fuel than was actually in
the wing.
It has come to our attention that some of the sensor dial assemblies installed with the original version of
this Service Bulletin were again faulty from the manufacturer. To correct this condition, this Service Bulletin
provides for the replacement of the sensor dial assemblies on the fuel level sending units with improved
dial assemblies.
5. DESCRIPTION
This Service Bulletin contains instructions for replacement of the sensor dial assemblies on the fuel level
sending units.
6. WARRANTY INFORMATION
For aircraft under warranty at the issue date of this Service Bulletin, Cirrus Design will cover all parts and
labor costs for this Service Bulletin if the work is accomplished within the Compliance time period and the
work is performed at an authorized Cirrus Design Service Center.
7. MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS
