Hi steve
Thanks for the touch of humour I needed a laugh right now. I have contacted
Bob and he is coming over tomorrow to take a look.
I'll let you know how we get on.
Cheers
Alan

Bad Luck...
Your aircraft isn't revolting to it's new registration is it and decided to
take a pee on the hangar floor to show you who was in charge did it?
Or did it "bust a gut" because it is so happy to be flying in warm sunny
weather.
Sounds like it is time to take it to Bob Berube who is just down the road a
bit and tell him to fix it. Bob could probably have it up and flying in no
time.
Makes for a much better piece of mind and besides it's only money and well
worth the cost.
Steve

Who says life is meant to be fair..!
After four months of fighting bureaucracy I finally get my aircraft airborne
and manage exactly four days of fun flying here in Florida. This morning I
go out to the hanger to pre flight and find the floor is full of fuel. It's
leaking out of the bottom of the aircraft at a fairly fast rate. Having
removed all the inspection covers both inside and outside I cannot detect
the source of the leak. I can see fuel dripping out from somewhere towards
the back of the tank, but not the actual leak. I have checked all the places
where fuel is meant to leave i.e. all the fittings and all look good and
dry. I can therefore only assume that the tank has split somewhere.
My question is
1. Has anyone else experienced a split fuel tank 2. How feasible would it be
to have a bladder made to fit inside the tank rather than cut the old one
out and replace it.
All help and advice welcome (other than take up sailing instead).
Many Thanks
Alan
