Narrative:
Aircraft placards showed cdl for high pressure connection door latch. Per master MEL legal to dispatch with slight weight penalties and additional fuel for increased burnoff -- all items applied before departure. On sep/xa/00 I was notified by company engineering that type aircraft (B737-700) should not have this door removed -- only applies to series 300 and 500.
