a couple of days ago I noticed a litte fuel on the ground under left wing
Hi Allan,
It is hard to respond with a definitive answer without
knowing more facts. For example, what do you mean by a "little fuel" on
the ground and how long had the puddle been there? Aviation fuel evaporates
pretty quickly so unless it was a really large leak and large puddle, it probably
would evaporate on the ground really quickly and you would not see a puddle
unless it was recent. Did you see any dripping? Were there any
blue residue on the bottom of the wing? Had the airplane just been refueled
and the line guy possibly over filled the tank and that is what caused
the fuel on the ground? That seems to happen a lot with the Esqual and Lightning
when untrained line guys refuel them. Was there an apparent area
where the fuel was coming from? For example the tank sump. Was it
in fact fuel? Sorry about so many questions, but without more to go on
it is hard to come up with
suggestions.
Blue Skies,
buz
