Ricks interview and comments again brought to mind my own findings with the
10. These aircraft engines rarely fail for catastrophic mechanical reasons.
Almost always they fail for lack of fuel, fire or air. The attached picture
shows the bottom of an orange bucket after the flush of my QB tanks with
mineral spirits. Note the black specks on the bottom. It took multiple
flushes of each tank, first with mineral spirits and then with av gas, to
remove the flakes of pro seal. Even after 50 hours and multiple fill ups I
still got a speck the size of a pinhead from the left tank sump. It may have
been stopped by the screen, at any rate it washed into the sump drain valve.
Suggest flushing the tanks, deburring the flares on the aluminium, and
blowing out the lines with compressed air.
