not a ton. It did stop eventually. Our second ship leaked out about 4 gallons
over the spring months (march to June). Once she was out fying she stopped leaking.
Took her to her hangar for a month (I have to travel for work) and she
started leaking again.
i think she's mad at me....

I just would not be able to quantify how much is normal.

rom variously places and it will look like the hole thing is about to catch o
n fire.

If the internal fuel tank is half full to full, fuel will leak out the fuel
scavenge tube. If under half full, there shouldn't be any fuel venting or
very minimal. Fuel venting is normal as fuel will migrate from the internal
tank to the fuel scavenge tube over a period of time. The amount depends o
n the amount of fuel in the internal tank, ambient temp, and how the aircra
ft is sitting. This is what I have found on my L-29. Hope it helps
