Guys,
I need some help. I noticed a faint smell of fuel in my cockpit the other day and finally tracked it down. My left tank fuel line running in from the cockpit was barely weeping at the meeting point at the fuel tank and at my Andair fuel selector. I installed a new alum tub with new fittings and flew it last night for the 1st time. After I landed, I checked it again. Same ol same!!
I checked the fittings and the one on my fuel selector was a little loose so I tightened it up but not too much. My one on the fuel tank was fine. Anyway, I am thinking about going with a flexible hose made by a company. I have checked my Andair fuel selector to make sure the the little screws have not worked themselves out and they looked fine.
Any thoughts, suggestions, items I am not looking at????
