In Response To: Re: Source for Fuel Tank Gaskets? (peter fallon)

Thanks for all of the great advice guys. I figured this was one of those "make your own" type of situations. I am not positive that the top of the tank is the source, however, I am getting the tank cleaned this week and want to eliminate all possibilities. I replaced my sender 2 years ago with a Tempo, but plan to upgrade once it fails (which it will).

Yesterday I spoke with a fellow boating buddy who is also a pilot. He said that it is not unusual to get a half jelly jar of water out of a 100 gal tank during a preflight check on a small aircraft that has not been used for a few weeks. Really underscores the need to periodically drain your fuel separator, especially if the boat has been sitting for a few weeks.

Looking forward to getting my engine back in the boat before the end of the season!
