Fuel Tank design STINKS!
I was able to get out for some airtime today....
First time since early December!
I took my Surdy Birdie..and My super sportser.
Since it's been so long..I fueled up the Sturdy Birdie first..you know to work out the buttterflies!
after fueling, I noted fuel was dumping on the ground out the Fuse.
That stinking stopper in the fuel tank was leaking AGAIN!!!
This must be the 5-6'th time this has happened to me...so I tear everything apart..and re-tighten the stopper screw.
Made 3 flights..and decided to take the sportster up.
SHe has a YS 45 2-stroke..and wouldn't fire up!
I checked for tank pressure..NONE!
I look and fuel is dumping out the plane!
Another leaking stopper!!!!!
What is the trick to a fuel tank that doesn't leak?!?!?!
I'm getting sick of this real quick!
Never took the girl up....as the tank isn't something that you can get at in the field!
I've had it with this style tank!
What can I do..and what can I buy to be able to solve this once and for all!!!
Nothing worse that gettting all ready to fly, then get grounded by a stupid leak!
Give me a solution..and I'm going to swap out the tanks in all my planes!
