From: "Mallard" Final Update on what caused the fuel leak in my Mono XS! Below is the report from the LAA Inspector Engineer: Found the fuel hose issue today, see pictures attached. The issue was the rudder cable sawing away at the hose, it all gets very congested in the tunnel between the seats. Where the hose goes in and out of the seat pan, there can only be a 6 mm gap between the hoses and the cables. This is where the cable has cut into the hose as the hose goes into a tee for one leg to the engine (fuel bleed off return) - one to the rear mounted drain and the third leg to the tank outlet connection. It was the last one that had the hole. -------- Seat of my pants Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=502815#502815 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/fuel_hose_with_hole_worn_by_rudder_cable_2_200721_135.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/fuel_hose_with_hole_worn_by_rudder_cable_200721_186.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:24:02 PM PST US From: "fklein@orcasonline.com" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Possible Leaking Fuel Tank! one thing I dont regret was running my rudder cables within teflon tubing > On Jul 20, 2021, at 6:44 AM, Mallard wrote: > > > Final Update on what caused the fuel leak in my Mono XS! > > Below is the report from the LAA Inspector Engineer: > > Found the fuel hose issue today, see pictures attached.
