This morning my neighbor went to fly here Piper Arrow and found an 18 inch puddle of avgas around the right tire from a dripping sump valve. What got my attention was the distortion or swelling of the area of the tire that contacted the fuel. It had swelled the contact area over 1/4 inch.
I don't know if the brand of tire makes any difference but this particular one was a "Condor".
Has anyone seen this before?
