Default RE: engine dying


ORIGINAL: my05monte

I think we found it. The fuselage was soaked arond the tank and battery area. I could literaly wring the fuel out of the foam padding. One of the engine mount screws in the firewall had started to rub a hole in the tank. Had to order a new reciever as this one is fuel soaked so I won't know for sure till it comes in. Many thanks to all and happy flying
There you go blaming a little screw, when that cat snuck in and bit a hole in the tank. Mine would do something like that if he feels short on his Tuna ration.

Good idea is to use blind (tee) nuts on the firewall and cut off the screws/bolts so they do not extend into the tank area. Probably no need to patent your situation as I feel reaaal certain that it has been done before. Good luck flying.
