Default RE: fuel filler

has it been 6 months allready, thats the time line for this topic to rear its ugly head again, well I have been diligently checking the fuel fillers notice(fillers) as in several there all working and not leaking so I guess I am the luckyest man in the world.

I would rather be, the most interesting man in the world, since he always seems to have the babes, but I will settle for lucky.

this seems to fall back on maintanence, if you let the fillers sit in fuel and gunk, for extended time, they gum up and the rubber O ring stops sealing properly, and seem suseptable to dammage resulting in the leaking of air and fuel, drain your tank and periodicly clean them and they work well for cowled planes where access to fuel lines are limited by space or the design of the engine compartment.

planes with fuelers I have airworthy.
