An assembly comprising an aircraft fuel stringer duct 5, a bulkhead 200, and a bulkhead retainer 150 is disclosed. The bulkhead 200 is positioned in the fuel stringer duct 5 to block the flow of fluid along the fuel stringer duct 5. The bulkhead retainer 200 comprises a retainer portion (152, fig.2) that extends through an opening (52, fig.3) in a wall of the fuel stringer duct 5 and which is configured to abut with the bulkhead 200 to prevent movement of the bulkhead 200 along the fuel stringer duct 5. The bulkhead 200 may be comprised of a 1st and 2nd body segment with a gasket between the two designed such that when the 1st and 2nd body segments are compressed together the gasket will be pressed outwardly forming the seal in the FSD 5. The bulkhead 200 may also comprise a pocket designed for receiving the bulkhead retainer 150. The bulkhead retainer 150 may also form as part of a connector for connecting a fluid flow duct to a fuel Stringer duct 5. A method of installing a bulkhead 200 in a fuel stringer duct 5 is also disclosed.
