Sorry, I've got to chime in here. It is a SB from an experimental designer,
that is all. There obviously have been a couple instances of a tube coming
off..........you have another tank. To immediately ground YOUR airplane is
YOUR decision just as it was Van's decision to issue the SB to cover their
butts. Opinion only, what is the world are the chances of both tubes
falling off on the same flight.........fly off one to within 3.5 then switch
to the other.....land prior to 3.5......let's see, a total of 7 usable (to
be argued) left on board at 10 (for the sake of arguement) that comes out to
42 minutes usable (again arguement) with no reserve when you land. Cutting
it close.....you decide. For goodness sake, you don't have to jump off the
bridge just because they built it:-)
Man, I need a cup of coffee after that rant. Off to the flyin........course
we may only have 1 modified RV and 75 reckless, hair on fire, fly at all
cost RV'ers:-)
Foor goodness sake do not archive

Dana, I agree! When installing the anti-rotation blocks on my RV6-A I used
a liberal amount of Proseal on the fitting.....better than safety wire. That
tube isn't coming lose in my RV!!

I agree that we can legally fly. My concern is with the insurance company
if the unlikely happens.

Why couldn't one take other measures? Use a bore scope to inspect, etc. and
log that in the books. As the builder, you should be able to cover it
rather than just ignore it.
