Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 6:55 pm Post subject: Wing fuel leak

After 8 years and 880 hours my -10 has developed a wing fuel leak (quick build wings) which, at first, I thought was from the fuel drain valve.  However, after replacing the drain valve, the leak has persisted and closer inspection revealed the leak to be from between the tank skin and the fuel drain flange (VA-112).

Any idea on how to seal this without disassembling the wing?   

Thanks.

I have fixed a leak like this before by removing the paint from around the flange and on the edge of the flange and put a bead of pro seal on he outside. This has proven successful for years since the repair.
