Hi Everyone Although I'm new to the mailing list, I've owned and flown my 1946 C/D Coupe for about a year now, N99399.
I'm presently in the middle of my first annual. I've been noticing quite a fuel odor in the cabin recently, especially after setting for a few days. As much as I looked, I couldn't see anything leaking. I took the wing root fairings off for the annual and discovered that some of the rivets in the aluminum tanks, especially around the inlet and outlet riveted bosses were seeping a little bit. Because the main spar passes through the cabin and is not particularly well sealed, I believe the fumes are entering there. Has anyone had this problem? Any advice to cure it short of buying new fuel tanks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Roger
