Nice to be able to report that I may have fixed the fuel smell. I found
the breather pipe had come completely adrift from the fuel tank behind
the passanger seat. I have reattached it - but the fuel tank outlet
stubb looks a bit short and does not have any ridges normally found on
push fit fittings. I clamped it up as best I could. It should had a
reinforcement ring inside the stubb to withstand clamping pressure.
Next thing was a flat tyre (monowheel). It was quite a performance
jacking up the plane on a busy taxiway. Now it is back in the hangar and
I have the wheel off. The tyre is 700x6. Brake pads are approx 3mm
thick. I cannot find brake pad specifications or tyre / inner tube specs
in the Owners manual or Build manual. Where in UK can I find an inner
tube and brake pads? Is there a published maintenance manual?
