Thanks to everyone that kept their fingers crossed. I located my wing tank fuel leak without having to cut the wing skins. I opened the 48" rib at the root, the area of the suspected leak, and with help from a friend of mine was able to locate the leak in an area that should be easily fixed. I'll do a full tank fuel test after repair and before taking the wing back to the hangar for installation.
I've managed to replace all the intake hoses and gaskets on the 0-200, chage oil and filter, fix my quick drain leak, reroute my fuel line from the gascolator to the carb, put new brass washers on the oil temp sensor to stop an oil drip, performed a fuel flow test with the pressure regulator installed, and several other minor repairs. Ed Sterba says my prop will be shipped no later than Monday so if the tank repair goes o.k. I should be back in the air in a week or so. Yee Haa, let the good times roll !!!
