Larry, we finally know why your guitar sounds a little sharp.
Let's go flying.

Just a suggestion but I once cleared a fuel vent on a Pulsar using a
guitar
string. Those are very flexible and made it through the bends that went
into
the fuselage tank. I pushed while turning it by hand and it cleared out a
plug that was restricting the vent inside the tank. I think that I also
modified the end of the string so that it had a slight cutting edge to it.

It certainly appears to be a crack that propagated from fitting base and as
you said, due to cyclic bending loading of fitting by hose. Aluminum is poor
on fatigue resistance, especially when strength is reduced by brazing as is
done on such exchangers. That's why it is so important to have no preload on
fittings.

Maybe if I had a real guitar instead of just one string it might sound
better too. This is real boring. plunk plunk plunk plunk plunk plunk
plunk. I wrote that song myself though.
I'll fly if the weather gets a little calmer. Gusts to 25 today!

Larry, we finally know why your guitar sounds a little sharp.
Let's go flying.

Just a suggestion but I once cleared a fuel vent on a Pulsar using
a guitar
string. Those are very flexible and made it through the bends that
went into
the fuselage tank. I pushed while turning it by hand and it cleared
out a
plug that was restricting the vent inside the tank. I think that I
also
modified the end of the string so that it had a slight cutting edge
to it.
