Subject: [LML] Re: Testing for fuel leaks
and fuel probes to use
Bryan,
Re my earlier
reply attached to your original post... while the measure and time approach to
determine fuel level might have worked for Lindy he probably didn't have FAR
91.205 to deal with. The minimum equipment required for VFR flight under
that regulation includes a fuel level gauge for each tank, so you will still
need to deal with some sort of sensors for the required gauges. Someone
suggested a pressure sensor as an alternative, and I'm sure there are others
that are easier to retrofit in closed wings than your typical capacitance-type
fuel probes, which would be a real challenge (if even possible without major
surgery.)

I am
building a Lancair 360. The previous builder already closed out the
wings.
He used the 1/4" lines to feed to the Header Tank as the manual
suggests.
And He never installed the fuel probes.
Can anyone suggest a way for me to
test for leaks in the wings?
What can I do to get a fuel level reading
without cutting into my tanks to
install probes?
Thank
You,
Bryan
