Fuel tank transducer leak, bummer
Filled plane up the other day for a trip the next day to Florida. Arrival in the hangar, fuel smell, fuel at RH wing root going down fuselage. Removed tank covers with screw buster, only had to drill a couple. Both transducer plates leaking, good thing I had 100 gaskets made out of grade A viton. Should have done it last year when I did the LH wing. Modified the holes in the plates with a 60 degree counter sink, installed small viton oring under bolt washer and reinstalled. Wish I would have done it last year.
