| Subject: | leaking fuel tank |
it's been one of those days.
Remember that 2005 Tiger that I resealed the spar last March? Then, I stripped
and resealed the rest of the rib and bottom doubler. I flew the plane with a
full tank for 30 minutes and no leak. I then let it sit for 10 days and watched
the area of concern. No leaks.
I flew the plane again today for about 30 minutes. The leak is back.
The leak appears to be coming from about 6 inches ahead of the spar. It's hard
to tell where it's coming from. What I see is what is leaking past the strap
between the wing panels. Tomorrow I'll take off the strap between the wing sections
and try pressurizing the tank to a couple of psi. I can tell you where
it isn't leaking.
