Safety issue:



Aircraft: 1995 YAK-52 flown approx 700 hours TT.



Issue: During the just completed Condition Inspection (Annual) cracks were

found in both fuel tanks. Several cracks, about a half inch long,  were at

the bottom of each tank at the center and right next to the spot welds which

hold the internal baffle/support. The right tank was leaking and the left

one just barely started.



Recommendation: Remove the panels under the tanks and inspect each tank for

blue fuel stains, cracks, and fuel leaks.



A good welder can repair the tanks and then cover with welds and original

spot weld areas with PRC for added protection.
