installed nutplates, welded the top on, even had
two pipes beaded, so they don't easily blow off.
now I wonder what I am reading about fuel
filters. I've run 12 years, 1000 hrs, with two tiny, in-line [1" x 2"]
filters, and no gascolator with my O-320. I don't sump the tanks anymore
because those things start leaking when I mess with them. my plane is kept
inside, so no rain can seep in the tanks. never experienced any water in
the tanks. condensation doesn't seem to be an issue. I have flown
many hr x/c, from Bahamas to AK to FL, MA, NC.... 5 min taxi to
active runway should burn any water off, right? I'm sure others may be
appalled, but this is what I am experiencing.
