HEMTT Tanker
Service Correction
The correct interval for checking and
cleaning the line strainer and filter
separator on M978 fuel tankers is every
two years. Make a note for Item 15 in the
PMCS in Change 3 to TM 9-2320-279-20-1
that the interval is
biennial. ’Course, if an
operator PMCS shows a possible fuel line
strainer or filter separator problem, the
interval can be shortened.
