Hi Alan and Rob, thanks for your replies. It is a UK pulsar and this one definitely has wing tanks! I'm not sure yet if it has a fuselage tank as well, i cant see any other filler cap for it?

Looking through the flap mechanism inspection hole it has the brown ribs which is good, but looking through the wing tank filler cap the white coloured fuel sealant is badly cracked bubbled and peeling away. I dont know how you would repair this other than removing the leading edge completely and scraping it away to start again but also i think it would inevitably be damaged in removing it where it bonds to the spar? has anyone tried a repair like this?

If it does have a fuselage tank, how is access made to it? I imagine the fuel sealant may be in a similar state..

Many thanks for all your help so far.

Regards,
Lee.
