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!
