Thx!
Curious if those are from level flight? Assume they are?
Cheers,

Thanks Jim. I tried that without success. Any chance that someone can reproduce
the actual document here online?

Many thanks for your swift response. Being a UK resident, it surprises me that
there is no mention made anywhere of our LAA Light Aircraft Association having
endorsed this. But no doubt they're fully aware of it.
Of course I'm going to view this bulletin with a jaundiced eye, taking the attitude
that if a leak should arise in the fuel tank, or anywhere else in the fuel
system for that matter, then I'm going to smell it as soon as it occurs and
start immediate investigation.
The supply of test kits might not be adequate for initial demand in the UK, but
they state 2 weeks lead time, so ..........
I've already tried contacting my aircraft's LAA inspector, to get his take on it.

I might just add that I incorporated the Bug Yerly modification prior to putting
any fuel in my tank.
This was published in the Europa magazine and involves filling the gap between
the bottom of the tank and the aircraft fuselage floor with non-expanding foam.
Since this mitigates the previous problem with weight on the "ledge" that the tank
sits on, it stop it cracking and therefore leaking.
I have only just done the first engine start in December with a few runs since,
so I do not have any flight time as yet - a year of paperwork awaits.
However I am reluctant to pull out all the nicely installed fuel piping on the
off-chance that something that has not happened and has been already mitigated,
might happen, even though it should not.
I wonder if Europa could benefit from actually speaking to the Europa club, who
have a wealth of knowledge.
