Hi all,

I have a problem and I hope someone may be able to help.  I managed to
accidentally cut about an 1/8" diameter hole in the aluminum fuel vent line
just as it exits the outboard wing.  It's about 1/4" from the outboard face
of rib 171 so there isn't much room to work  I really don't want to cut into
171 unless I have to.  Is there any way I can patch this tube?  I'm sure its
there isn't much pressure in it the tube.

A second question concerning the fuel probes exiting the same rib.  Should
they be tightened all the way down to the base of the threads?  Should any
Teflon tape be used?

Thanks for you help,

Joe Trepicone, IV-P
