CORROSION PREVENTIONMANUAL 
FUSELAGE -SECTION 46
2. Corrosion Prevention
A.  Following cleaning of suspected areas, a thorough inspection as described in 
Volume 1, 20-20-00 is effective to ensure that protective finishes provided 
during manufacture remain intact.
B. Where  corrosion exists (noticeable bulges of the skin or white deposits of 
corrosion products at fastener heads or joint edges), refer to the index 
column in 53-00-01 for reference rework chapter.
C. For minor corrosion, to minimize the downtime of the airplane, the corrosion 
products should be cleaned off, followed by the application of a corrosion 
inhibiting compound into the affected area to retard the corrosion process 
(Ref Volume 1, 20-60-00). The finish system should be restored at the first 
opportunity consistent with the maintenance schedule.
D. Prevention Treatment
(1)At first opportunity consistent with scheduled maintenance activity,
corrosion prevention treatment should be accomplished in the external 
drains and drain paths, cargo door area, and door openings.
(2)External Drains:
(a)  
Clean out drains and drain paths.
(b)  
Check that drain valve is free to open and close.
CAUTION:  OBSERVE DRAIN VALVE TORQUE LIMITS. EXCESSIVE TIGHTENING OF 
PLUNGER TYPE DRAIN VALVE WILL CAUSE VALVE FLANGE TO CRACK OR 
BREAK.
(c) If required, remove plunger type drain valve from outside the fuse-lage, clean out obstructions and reinstall valve until flange con-tacts skin. Tighten to 15 lb-in. maximum.
(3)No. 2 and 3 Cargo Compartment
(a) 
Remove  sidewall lining and insulation blankets in the cargo compart-ment beneath the main deck entry and cargo doors to expose frame, 
stringer, doubters and skin.
(b) 
Remove floor liners to gain access to bilge areas, if any.
(c) 
Remove  ceiling lining for access to main deck floor beams and inter-costals.
(d) 
Replace  broken or damaged finishes. Refer to Volume 1, 20-60-00 for 
protective finish systems.
(e) 
Replace  or repair broken or damaged leveling compounds used for 
drainage.

(f) 
Apply water displacing corrosion inhibiting compound to all exposed 
structure under the cargo floor and to the sidewalls beneath the 
upper lobe entry and cargo doors. The use of spray equipment with 
nozzle directed into faying surfaces is recommended. Do not apply 
excessively.
(g) 
Allow solvent to evaporate before reinstalling insulation blankets.
(h) 
Install blankets so they are taut.
