i am the new one on the list, with a new9to me) ercoupe. I had what the ferry pilot described as a huge fuel leak(he ran out of gas after 2 hrs flying). He safely landed on a road, to find all 3 tanks empty. I found him, and brought 5 gallons fuel and put in header tank, and he flew the other 10 miles to the airport. After 3 weeks of looking, we have found no signs of a fuel leak anywhere. My A&P pressurized the fuel system, and now the real story starts. I ran so rich at idle, it would flood itself out. He pressurized the the fuel system the day before, and now the carb is leaking. ITs off right now being rebuilt. Also, he called yesterday to say the left wing has fuel on the trailing edge on the rivets, and is wondering if the lefft wing tank is leaking. It was as dry as a bone, before this "pressure test" and also idled fine. This plane is costing me a fortune, and I have never flown it yet. IT flew all the way from Alabama to Wisconsin without a glitch, other than the last 2 hr flight it burned all the fuel in the plane. Any help would be so appreciated. Doc Gary
