Date Posted: Sun, Jun 23 2013, 15:11:38 GMT Hello everyone, I've just come across this forum and would really appreciate some advice from knowledgeable Pulsar owners! I'm considering buying a Pulsar 582 project which has a leaking wing tank. I've read on the LAA TADS about the danger to the foam ribs from fuel/fuel vapour, so when i go for a closer look i will see what wing access there is and check this thoroughly. My other concerns are if there has been a fuel leak is there danger that it may have damaged other parts of the wing/fuselage structrue 'downhill' of the fuel tank (e.g. spar/wing skins etc. If the fuel has caused a leak is it possible it can affect the fibreglass resin itself? Are there ways to inspect for all this? Finally regarding the fuel leak itself, how easy is it to gain access the tank to reseal it and are there chemicals that are resistant to mogas? Anyone tried any alternative fixes like making metallic tanks/ using fuel bladders? Sorry for all the newbie questions at once! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Lee.
