every 30 days through the submission of samples taken from the effluent stream of the
filter/separators.
(2) The adapter attached to the filter/separator’s outlet coupling contains a sampling probe, which
extends into the fuel flow. A Detector Kit, NSN 6640-00-244-9478, can be attached to the sampling
probe to obtain fuel samples.
