Fuel sender gaskets???
kontiki wrote: When I put a new fuel cell in my airplane last year it came with all the gaskets including the sender gasket. It was cork and I used a light coat of Vaseline only. The gaskets are rubber. When I opened the wing bay at annual this year, the leak was obvious. Three years ago when the senders were replaced, we put new gaskets in with a thin film of "FuelLube". They leaked just enough to stain the fuel tank and put a fuel smell into the cockpit and hangar. The gaskets have developed cracks around the screw holes, probably because the screws were overtightened, so they must be replaced. I dont want to be doing this again... |
