“The Boeing 777”

This does appear to be unrelated to the FAA Airworthiness Directive issued in March.

But here’s something more recent from the FAA about fire risks on the 777. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13444467/Boeing-plane-United-American-Airlines-fatal-fault.html
It deals with a fire risk related to the center wing tank.

Although from the picture, this appears to be an engine problem, not a tank problem.

Nothing to do with a “tank”...it is an engine compressor stall:

That AD is for a missing ground strap on a vent for the center wing tank, and was determined to be an item that can be corrected during the next scheduled deep maintenance cycle.
