Shadrach Posted October 27, 2022 Report Posted October 27, 2022 Just wrapping up annual. We noticed a small fuel stain on the inside of the panel under the gascolator. Not enough to run down the inside of the panel, just a spot. We cleaned and reinstalled everything. An ops check reveals that it’s seeping ever so slightly at the center bolt. My IPC has only a conceptual drawing of the fuel system with a parts list. Perhaps it just needs a new flat washer, but it would be useful to see a detailed diagram to ensure everything is present and correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote

I replaced those gaskets last year with a kit from lasar and posted a picture. Let’s see if we can find that thread… 1 Quote
Ragsf15e Posted October 27, 2022 Report Posted October 27, 2022 Try this. its at the bottom. don’t over tighten the nut. mine kept leaking until we tightened the bottom nut and the fuel line small bits back and forth to keep everything level as it tightened. 1 Quote
