Can that be forward of t he new insert? It would look better and be easier to keep clean of gunk (th at's a technical term).

Jim Putting MEK in the tank has only made your problem worse. You might have turned a single leak into several by adding MEK to the tank. You had better contact Richard and let him walk you through how to repair that leak.

I had a similar situation (not aviation related) about 6 years ago. Went through all your going through, then went to court and won a $22,000 judgment. Unfortunately, a judgment against them means little to people like that. In all over 6 years I've received $3000 and been back to court 5 times. In my opinion, exposing him as you're doing and impacting his business is the best and probably the only way to really get his attention.
