Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:15 pm Post subject: leaking fuel tank

it's been one of those days.  

Remember that 2005 Tiger that I resealed the spar last March?  Then, I stripped and resealed the rest of the rib and bottom doubler.  I flew the plane with a full tank for 30 minutes and no leak.  I then let it sit for 10 days and watched the area of concern.  No leaks.

I flew the plane again today for about 30 minutes.  The leak is back.

The leak appears to be coming from about 6 inches ahead of the spar.  It's hard to tell where it's coming from.  What I see is what is leaking past the strap between the wing panels.  Tomorrow I'll take off the strap between the wing sections and try pressurizing the tank to a couple of psi.  I can  tell you where it isn't leaking.
