Hello all,
first time posting on the active side. This week I bought a new to me RV4 with a fresh condition inspection by Base Leg aviation. Unfortunately upon landing back at home base the left tank showed leaks on the aft side of the tank, pics attached (According to the seller it was just repaired a few weeks ago). My hope is, that the the area in the 3rd pic is from the puddle of the first 2, not sure yet.
My questions for the ones that had to deal with this type of leak before:
What is the most effective way to fix limited leaks like that? Does one have to go inside the tank or can it be fixed from the outside?
Does the old pro-seal have to be removed or just cleaned before applying new sealant? Whats the best way doing this not causing damage to other sealing areas? Is there some wonder sealant that can be used for small leaks like that?
Any other hints?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
