Dave, I've sent you a p.m.
I'm considering a repair as an interim fix.

| Subject: | Re: Fuel tank issues |
As the posesser of a very old tank I have been following this with interest.
The embrittlement problems seem to be yet another consequence of the addition of
alcohol to motor fuels. The alcohol leaches out the plasticisers and over time
the inflexible plastic cracks along stress lines.
I go to great lengths to totally avoid alcohol containing fuels. 100LL is nearly
always available and with the use of lead scavenging additives avoids the most
serious consequences of leaded fuel use. This is preferable to the leaching
effects of alcohols.
I am fortunate to spend the summer in Nova Scotia, Canada where high test road
fuel is alcohol free.
Avoid alcohol. Tank damage is not the only negative consequence.

Hello,
I have 4 people on the waiting list for fuel filler pipes according to SM 13070.
Some of them were told "times up" by their inspectors on their now 20 something
year old rubber hoses and the aircraft grounded. If you have a Classic fuel filler
system you will require a replacement sooner or later.
Price will be the same as last time 195 GBP plus postage.
This mod will permit the the connecting hoses to be replaced every 5 years along
with other fuel hoses as only straight sections are required.
Please let me know if you are interested and I will give an update shortly?
Regards
John

Many thanks to the dozen or so folk who responded to my previous request
for your favourite Europa pictures. We now have some cracking pictures
which will find their way into the Europa Flyer or onto the website, but
we could do with lots more, so please the other 300+ club members dig
out your beautiful pictures and email them to me!
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
