Hello to All,This is kinda directed to whomever has experience with our header tank (Serial # 2187)Jan or Lynn come readily to mind.Bill Coons and I were flying back in my coupe yesterday a beautiful day I might add when Bill said " I felt a drop on my leg" I said it isn't rainning .I put my hand up under the panel and my header tank was wet ."OH HAPPY DAYS". I said Bill put out that cigar.It's wet under there.and it smells like 100ll.When we got back, it got under the panel and it was dry bone dry under there.So I told Bill he could lite up the cigar (kidding).So today I pulled out some instruments ( A Cello and a trumpet) so I could look at the tank better. It was dry Bone dry,I yelled CLEAR and started up the coupe within 3-4 secounds it wetted up a little.The header is full but it only gets wet when the pump is working not when the plane sits.OK I've isolated that so far what is it? The over flow pipe? The 2 lines going in to the back of the tank are dry it appears that it's from above them.A crack in the filler up above maybe.This is the last thing I need now ..Let me know what I'm in for..Dennis 99564 in ILL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
