Dan & Ann,
Sounds like a big problem. I had a right wing tank leaking, and it
had
garbage
in it. My A&P wanted to "remove and check all the tanks. The only tank
that had
any symptoms was the right wing. I told him to stick it where the sun
don't
shine.
He finally agreed that since he couldn't see problems with the other two
tanks, he'd
worry about the offending tank only. I suspect that many mechanics will
try
to milk
any project for what they can get.
