Last year my alternator died on the day before OSH, and today I was getting the plane all cleaned up for a second attempt at OSH and I noticed blue stains around the fuel sump on the left tank.
Can someone explain the fuel tank construction at the inboard part of the wing? The area of the leak is at the bottom of a large circle/oval area that surrounds the fuel line out and fuel sender. The fuel sender has a small circle area 1.5" and this is ok. Both areas are covered in proseal and i am not able to see how this end cap is fastened? Screws with gasket? Is this area supposed to be covered in proseal? The leak is in the six o'clock position and the proseal is very soft.
Suggestions on how to fix this problem?
The leak is very slow with a drip every ten minutes or more. Suggestions on flying, or keep it grounded and manually drain the tanks? Of course they are both full.
