Hi all,



I noticed that after fitting the fuel level sender to my right wing tank

and then sloshing the tank out with preium unleaded pertol to removed

dust etc. that the small o-ring on the fuel quick drain in the bottom of

the fuel tank had expanded in size and no longer provided a good seal,

in fact it looked like it would slide off completely if left alone, I

removed it and after a few hours it returned to its correct size. I was

under the impression that this should have been safe to use for MOGAS or

AVGAS, has anyone else had this problem, or do I need to install a

different type of o-ring.



Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Best Regards,

Eddie Seve

My guess is the mogas may have contained alcohol.
