Narrative:
I was assigned to accomplish a de-preservation of the APU on aircraft X that has been in storage. The documentation for the aircraft stated that the aircraft had been in storage for XXX days and the APU needs to be de-preserved before XXX+1 days. The APU will need more work accomplished if it is de-preserved after the XXX+1 day mark than if it is de-preserved before the XXX+1 day mark. The issue is that the APU had a placard attached that stated the preservation was good until date and after the APU compartment was opened there was a different tag that stated the APU preservation was valid until date+4 days. So there were two different dates documented for the APU for the XXX+1 day mark. The question is when is this XXX+1 day mark? The date that the APU was actually preserved or the date for the preservation / storage of the aircraft.
