After sitting for many years with empty tanks (ouch), a friend of mine is
restoring a very nice Navajo Panther 310. Unfortunately, today he tried to put fuel in the inboard right wing tank and it started leaking, first from the panel around the fuel quick drain, then from further inboard. An IA has looked at it and it looks like its coming from the hose running down from the bladder and into the fuel lines. I've been told these bladders are likely to develop cracks and leaks if left dry for long periods of time. I'd like to help my friend with some homework. What are the chances of getting this bladder repaired? Recommendations on where to send the bladder for repair? Gotchas or warnings gained from prior experience that anyone would like to share?
