Stopping a Tail Tank Drip
Need some advice for stopping a drip (once per 20 seconds) from a tail
tank. I’m aware of using Vaseline / Chapstick / beeswax on under wing dump valves, but what about on a tail tank? How would you even reach it to goop it up (the seat is way up a 8 mm tube)? The tank in question is a 5.5 liter slip-in tank on an LS8. It hadn’t dripped at all until last weekend, when the temperature was around 5 C (no worry about freezing, I was ridge running). I didn’t check the tension on the cable, so maybe the problem will go away when reasonable soaring weather returns. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -John |
