 |
|
The fuel tank on our Europa Xs Tri-Gear is leaking. It appears to be coming from the rear starboard side of the tank, and the rate is about 0.25 litres an hour.
We will have to replace the tank. We need a repair plan to agree with our inspector. Does anyone have one or something similar that will help us develop one? Any advice or information welcome.
Does anyone have an unused tank they don't want?
What a pain.

As I told Peter on the phone, Terry has the tank from G-IRON available. It
is undamaged but as yet I have not cut it out of the airframe.

Goff,
I just returned from my hangar where I discovered that the fuel tank on my tri-gear was also leaking and also on the starboard side. The plane only has a little over 100 hours on it. I hope I won't have to replace it! Please let me know what you learn about repair or replacement.
Thanks,
Dale Hetrick
