Leading edge fuel leak Wayne Cape Waynecape waynec@optio.com
I have a fuel leak on the leading edge of one of the left wing. the leak is around a rivet and has previously been repaired. There is a hairline crack around the rivet. I know you have to seal the tank from the inside to stop the leak but I also would like to repair the rivet area on the leading edge cosmetically. I am looking for ideas to do this. Is it ok to add a piece of metal (aluminum?) and bond it over the rivet area?
