unicom Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi all, I just noticed a fuel leak on my M20J (please see image attached). At the moment it is just drops but not so good when I set the electric fuel pump on. As usual, your feedback will be more than welcome. At the moment I am in Guadeloupe. I will be heading towards Florida in a month. I am thinking of having the aircraft serviced there. Cheers, Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 That appears to be the vent fitting on the electric fuel pump. The seal on the pump needs replacement. Aeromotors LLC is the best option. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make sure I understand, the electric fuel pump needs to be removed and sent to Aeromotors LLC to be overhauled ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vent fitting keeps fuel from entering the motor when the pump seal wears out. Clarence Edited March 16, 2019 by M20Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
