Hard to win on that one?

what I hate is a tank accident early on in the planes life where you get fuel all in it.

I thin epoxy and coat the fuel and engine compartment at assembly. I also epoxy as far back as just beyond F2 or the landing gear mount on a tail dragger

At least on a low winger the fuel drips out the wing saddle.

After 55 years flying I have experienced all of the above at one time or another.
