From: "Graham Mitchell" A word of warning about the AC Spruce homebuilder gascolator. I just=0Ar eturned from the Hangar to find a huge stain under the cowling and=0Atai lwheel. I had dismanteled and checked the filter screens in the=0Agascol ator the week before, re assembled them CHECKED for leaks did not=0Asee any and went home. My hangar buddy called me a couple days later to=0Ate ll me about a stain on the floor. Turns out I spilled 28 galls of fuel=0A through the rubber seal in the gascolator. It was a hot day here in So=0A Cal when I checked the screens and re assembled them, I have a feeling=0A that's why it did not leak there was just enough expansion in the rubber =0Aand aluminum to make the seal. When it all cooled down and shrank it=0A started to leak. when I checked the rubber seal it has tiny crackes=0Aa round the periphery also. So this needs replacing 1 per year it seems.=0A =0AJust a word to the wise.=0A =0AGraham Mitchell =0A =0A =0AGraham Mitchell=0AProgram Manager=0ACoast Composites Inc =0ATel 949 455 0665 ext 128=0AEmail gmitchell@coastcomposites.com=0A =0A=5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F =5F=0A=0AThis message and any attachments may contain confid ential or privileged=0Ainformation.
