| Subject: | Small drip from pilot side fuel sampler. |
Today I noticed a VERY slow leak\drip coming from the fuel sampler fitting
in my wing.
After cleaning the area with a cloth and examining it, it looks like the
drip is coming from the sampler's hole. I checked the tightness of the
fitting and it is secure.
Furthermore I pulled on the fitting to make sure that it was fully down and
not stuck slightly up/
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution short of draining my
fuel and replacing the fitting?
Thanks,
John Marzulli

John,
Theres an O ring in there that probably is damaged, has dirt or a small fla
ke of aluminum keeping it from sealing
properly. I had to remove one early on that was leaking and just cleaning i
t was all it needed. I have lexan windows
and the auto fuel(ethanol) from that drain gets into the rivets there and c
auses it to crack. This happens when someone
slams the door up to the wing to get it to attach. Anyway don't let it go a
nd damage those nice bubble doors.

John, I had the same thing. It is the O ring that seals the fuel sampler. I
drained the tank and removed the fitting and replaced the O ring. Make
sure that the O ring is compatable to the fuel that you use.

The "Hints for Homebuilders" guys (EAA website) Dick and Bob Koehler said at
a workshop at Airventure that those sampler valve seals are not
serviceable. Cost to replace, around $10.

I have switched to a hot air gun, no chemicals, very fast. Hair dryer works set

John,
You might want to lay in a supply of those o-rings. Happened on both 701s I
built.

Does anyone have the ACS part number for o-rings that fit the Zenith
supplied samplers?

John: I had to replace the first set of drains on my 701. They came
with a black "O"ring and did not last 6 months. I had to also replace a
side window cause I left the door up and fuel drained on the window and
caused crazing.
The ACS part # is 05-01865 and it is called Saf-Air Drain Valve
CAV-110. It should have a blue "O"ring. I have not had to replace any
of these valves once I installed the ones with the blue "O" ring.
