| Subject: | Fuel Tank Issues |
Has anyone else experienced large black particles clogging their fuel
draining valve? I suspect these particles may be a deteriorating fuel tank lining.
When I check my fuel during my pre-flight, many times the valve on the
plane's belly will drip until I remove the thing completely and let a little fuel
out into a bucket. There are usually quite a few large (1/4'' square)
particles along with some black grit.
I use the same gas station to fill both my planes and have no problem with
the other one. B-Bar-D in North Carolina tells me I'm the only one complaining
of this. Could this problem be unique to a certain batch of airplanes? My
kit was delivered in June of 2006.
Any others having this experience?????
