RE: To avoid disaster... check your fuel tank seal regularly!
I had that happen to me many years ago. Hayes tanks are now retrofitted in everything I own. I'll throw away the fuel tanks that come with any ARF. I used to have fuel tank related premature landings, headaches, and nightmares. I developed an allergic reaction to rubber stoppers. Now I install the tank and forget about it and have no problems. I just wish Hayes made a tank bigger than 16 ounces.
