Mine is weeping at the fuel shutoff valve behind the dash. Just enough to be damp to the touch, but not create drips or anything else. I think John Wright Jr said he could repair them. Maybe someday I'll fly up to Springfield, IL and have them fix it along with a few other wish list items. - Jason -----Original Message----- From: Larry Snyder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 5:30 PM To: COUPERS TECH Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Fuel smell in cockpit ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Well, OK, my plane has always smelled of fuel when I pop it open after sitting with the canopy cover on it. During my last annual they discovered a drip from the cowl tank onto my radio, necessitating the purchase of a new radio. They sealed the tank, and said all was well. My primer pump has leaked from time to time, also, but I haven't noticed it doing that lately. What are the usual culprits for the smell of gas in the cockpit? I'm thinking the primer pump is the No. 1 suspect, then maybe weeping tanks or connections, much of which is inside the plane? I would be curious to know if anyone out there has cured the bad smell problem and how. Thanks much! Oh, BTW, the plane is now flying great after my little wheat field incident.
