Here's a picture of an Andair GAS500 fuel bowl showing the nice little nozzle created by corrosion all the way through the bowl.  The pilot was complaining of fuel smell.  The plane is a Legacy that started flying in 2003.  It has about 500 hours.
 
Before the corrosion got all the way through, the inside of the bowl had a small, shiny, unanodized patch where the corrosion started.  The outside looks perfect except for a small black speck where the hole comes through.
 
Check carefully!
