Just for the record, my factory tanks in factory wings set off leaking only
a few years after the completed build, 2007, I sealed and then had
resealed following all the wisdoms recommended then. And new paint. The
paint bubbled, broke open, ect. The leaks had continued. Knowing little,
I suspect bad use of bucking bars during the factory build, something to do
with bad riveting sent in the original quick build of the tanks/wings.
Now, my RV-10's tanks have been sent to someone who works with Mooney tanks
and also RV-10s, I am starting over. new paint, new hope.
In reply to ideas above about alcohol in fuel, my IO-540 and all of
the fuel system has never had anything but AVGAS. Forget the alcohol
problem. What about where the landing gear is placed relative to weight
distribution upon landings?? Sudden stress among the rivets, causing later
bibbits? My much lighter RV-6A with a Lycoming 360 never had tank leak
problems, and had well over 1,000 hours when I sold it. Or what about the
quality of the factory wings and tanks supplied that were part of those kit
build accelerators?
Just thinking in response. The RV-10 is a great one for many many reasons.
