Default RE: Quick Fuel Valves

Yes, sometimes a leak in the quick fueling valve can be hard to detect, especially when your fuel lines are hidden inside the cowl. You are flying, and the engine begins to sound a little on the lean side, so you land and compensate by richening up the high speed needle valve. Guess what? You are just bandaging the problem, not solving it.
