 These are not type-certificated aircraft, so FAR 39 (Airworthiness 

 Directives) does not apply.  If the local FAA wanted to talk to Van's 

 about this, which FAR subparagraph should they discuss?

Agreed on the legal points, but isn't the stuff Van supplies FAA 

approved for type-cert aircraft? I'm torn between being astounded and 

not surprised at all that the FAA would have nothing to say about an 

approved sealant that is dissolved by one of the components that it's 

certified to seal against.

For each RV with a minor fuel leak expanding into a major one, there 

would be hundreds if not thousands of type cert a/c with the same issue.
