Fuel leak & mirrors
Skyking don't mean to be facesious facesius smart, but I did all the scientific thing with mirrors, filling & calculating where the leak on my left hand wing would be and all that sort of stuff but all I ended up doing was waste time and fuel because all the little pertuberances pertooberances ribby bits inside the wing changed the direction of the leaking fuel. In the end I gave up and removed the wing panel where I found a cracked weld on the front inner to middle tank connecting hose. Interesting thing was that all tanks were refurbished about 6 months prior. turns out that the LAME who refitted the tanks must have started the crack on installation cause the inboard tank can be tricky to get in and out. I spose what I'm saying is that it wasn't until I got into it that the problem revealed itself and with the wing panel off it was obvious.
