=0ATo: Europa List=0ASubject: Europa-List: Fuel Filler Neck=0A =0AI went ou
t to calibrate my Princeton Capacitance meter today and the first step =0Ai
s to fill the tank. I Have the metal tube between the filler neck and the
tank =0Awith a black rubber coupling on each end, between the metal and the
glass filler =0Aneck, and the metal and the glass tank. I found that gas
leaked a little on =0Aboth ends of the metal tube. When I used a paper tow
el to clean the gas off, it =0Ahad a big, black streak on it from the rubbe
r coupling tube. More gas, more =0Ablack. The tube looks like radiator ho

down, am I using the proper material on both =0Aends? If not, what should
be used?=0A=0AJim Puglise=0AA283 -- Close to flying =0A =0A =0Ahttp:/
