for builders and those who can readily access their
fuel valves, a thought would be to prelube the fuel valves with fuel lube which
is required by AD on Piper aircraft. ACS has EZ turn lubricant, which is
advertised as an equivalent to fuel lube. These lubes are not washed away
by gasoline or alcohol, as I was unaware that Michigan had done away with
labeling on the gas pumps, I burned gasohol for years and the Piper fuel valve
never leaked. JohnD
