My 1995 ALON IS LOSING FUEL OUT OF THE LEFT WING FUEL CAP VENT, DESPITE ME TAKING CARE NOT TO OVERFILL EITHER WING TANK. I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO A LEFT WING LOW CONDITION, IN THE HANGAR AND WHILE TAXIING. THE A-2 AIRCOUPE SERVICE MANUAL NOTES THAT THE MAIN SHOCK STRUT MUST BE SERVICED WITH THE WHEEL LIFTED UP OFF THE GROUND, YET NO JACK PAD IS INCORPORATED UNDER EITHER WING, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO WAY TO PUT AIR OR NITROGEN INTO THE STRUT. IT FURTHER STATES THAT THE STRUT SHOULD BE SERVICED WITH 10 OZ OF HYDRAULIC FLUID WHILE IN IT'S FULL EXTENDED POSITION. MY MECH THINKS JACKING UNDER A SPAR, WITH THE TILT OF THE WING, WITHOUT A JACK PAD IS A VERY DANGEROUS UNDERTAKING. ANY IDEAS, PLEASE? DON BOWEN
