| Subject: | Fuel Disappears from the Fuel Tanks |
Sorry about this repetition, but as my e-mail forwarding service was
closed for maintenance from the 22nd of June 21:00 GMT to the 23rd of
June 4:00 GMT it seems that I have lost some e-mails. I have not
received any confirmation of having sent this one. If you already
have replied to this please bear with me and reply to me again. You
are welcome to send the reply directly to me. Thanks for your understanding.

It has not escaped my attention that when I leave my RV-6 for
prolonged periods in its locked shared hangar the fuel level seems to
decrease, even though I do not run the engine. What could the cause
be? Evaporation of Avgas? And what could the remedy be? Should I
cover the fuel vent tanks when the plane is not used for a certain
time? I see no leak under the aircraft, and no signs thereof. And
nobody has told me about any fuel leak.
Thanks for your reply.
