Just a note regarding the Andair fuel system fittings. On my Legacy, there had been a infrequent smell of Avgas on approach when the gear went down. I thought it was the venting on the wing bottom having spotted traces of blue from the naca vent. More recently, I detected the smell on the ground when I would open the canopy.
During the latest condition inspection I removed the sides covering the Andair in/out ports to find the left return banjo covered in blue stain. The A&P reported is was loose and retorqued to the Andair spec. None of the 4 Banjo fittings were lockwired and the Andair spec shows that they should be. I have 422 hours on the airframe.
