I was going through my 12Is after the first flight and found a drip on the lower fuel tank line (feed to fuel pumps). It’s really strange. At first i thought it was oil blown back from the engine (oil was a little overfilled) . It has the consistency of oil and no gas smell. So i cleaned everything off and did some pattern work and then let it sit and this was the pic next time. It’s obviously gas, but it doesn’t smell like gas! It’s almost like jellied gas. It has the right color, the car gas i’m using is yellow and this is intensely yellow.
I cleaned it all up again and ran both fuel pumps and stared at it for a few minutes and didn’t see any leakage whatsoever. Double weird!
I guess the next step is to drain the tank and take off that line and see what the heck is going on.
Anybody seen anything like this?
BTW, engine seems like it’s running fine. I did have a slightly low fuel pressure while doing the climb to 10k test ( at around 9400 feet) don’t know if that means anything.
