My fuel tank sprung a leak. It had been repaired in the past, looks like the repair job failed. Thought I smelled fuel when returning to base on my last flight. Pre-flighted today and the cockpit smelled like gas. Saw fuel dripping from the patched up spot on the tank.
I could probably fix the prior repair job (welding), but because it's also dented in places, I'd like to buy a new tank. Where should I go to get one? Looks like Steen Aero sells them for $675. Unless there's another recommendation out there, I guess that's where I'll go. Any ideas? Or does someone have a good condition tank they want to get rid of?
Thanks,
Ryan
