I had the same problem with N2273H It was dripping fuel onto the floor... A buddy of mine got some kind of putty they use on C-141 fuel system and that stopped the leak... It was leaking from the valve fitting under the dash... Paul Anton took the valve apart and discovered that the Ercoupe uses a different type of fitting (Flaring). Any way he got the right one and solved the problem... Maybe he could chime in on this.... Ron Burke By the way I hate Paul.. He rubs it in my face how stupid I was for selling my coupe to him.8-( Sunday we flew from Tacoma to Bremerton and I could not chase him down. Only with superior pilot skill did I beat him to the ground...8-) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "coupers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 5:12 PM Subject: RE: [COUPERS] [COUPERS-TECH] leaky header tank > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > Jeff; I would suggest removing the header tank from the aircraft.
