Hi Richard
You have a Classic the pictures were for the XS with a side filler. The
AD applies to both.
I have just inspected mine and whilst the inside looked perfect the fuel
tank end was noticeably soft compared to the top section. I intend to
replace it with aluminium as per Standard Mod 13070. If you are
interested John Archer, who is getting the pipes made, is taking orders now.
Regards
Pete

etc point to the side-filler Europa pipe, with 45 degree bend, which was an
alternative to the top-of-fuselage original filler. I have the latter, the long
pipe coming down through a hole in the rear bulkhead. Was this a different
pipe batch? Inspection shows no problem with mine, I fill to the top before
every flight, ie right up the pipe, then fly, then leave tank with about 3/4
full ie the pipe is not immersed for long. I fly once a month, Nice constant
temps in Kenya 15-28 C for storage, all seems to be OK.
