It looks as if the failure rate for the plastic tanks is less than
1%, I would imagine that
welded tanks will in time have their own share of problems.
Perhaps all that is required is for the factory to beef up the
existing design a little , and ensure that
the tanks are well flourinated.
I checked for fuel smells in the system by attaching a sniffer hose
to one side of my carbon
filter mask. Made for a good impression of an elephant, but I could
not find any trace of a leak.
I get a whiff of fuel while flying in turbulent air, seems to be
related to the tank venting onto the
fuselage, but I can't figure how it then finds its way into the cabin
- anyone have similar problems, or a
solution ?
