I'm the guy who just had a leaky header tank, although I'll bet most of the folks on this list have faced this at one time or another. Bad news. My mechanic had to disconnect both control columns, remove the radio and transponder, remove the throttle, carb heat and mixture cables to get the tank out. He was not happy!

The tank is now in Springfield, IL, getting fixed up by John Wright, Jr.

     While cleaning the return line, I discovered a leak in the header tank.  This could have been going on for a while because the felt between the tank and the metal strap was working as a wick and the leak is very very slow.  The smell of gas became noticeable since I used mogas recently.   I believe someone else just had this problem and asked this question, but of course I don't remember the answer.  Can the header tank be removed without removing the control column?  I sure hope so.  I don't know if my wallet is up to this! 

  Just read Marty Duke's success with "Pro Seal".  I didn't realize it could be this simple.
