Tim Yoder" Subject: Re: KIS-List: fuel seepage Bummer! I think Rich has recommended creating a vacuum in the tank and applying a thin epoxy mix to the affected surface areas, the vacuum sucks the epoxy into the voids. You should find this and other recommendations in the archives. Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Stearns To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 10:01 PM Subject: KIS-List: fuel seepage My right wing has a lot of small places where fuel is seeping out of the laminate. For instance some of the screws that hold the aileron on have blue stains around them. It's pretty clear that fuel has gotten into the wing skin sandwich panel and is wicking through laminate and foam. The left wing doesn't have any fuel seeps. The top right wing skin also has a lot of the weave showing through which might be related to the fuel getting to the panel. I'm a bit surprised since the fuel tanks have two coat of the jeffco fuel sealer in them. I played around with some sandwich panel that is the same material as the wing skin (but without fuel sealer) and fuel soaks through the laminate and through the foam core easily. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I worry or is this common?
