John,

There was a crack and some delamination debris in my tanks.  It cracked where there was a dent in the composite on the topside, one fix led to the other.  I didn't have a leak.  Bandon aviation did it for me.

If the tank starts delaminating, what color were you seeing in the fuel sample?

Ed, thanks for posting.  I had a fuel tank leak coming thru the bottom of my right wing and this was repaired by FD quite a while ago at headquarters in Connecticut.  They went into the tank thru the "access" port FD designed for this type of repair on the bottom of the wing and coated the inside with factory sealer which is impervious to alcohol.  I understand the access was done on the top of your wing due to repair needed for the dent/delamination.  Do you know what the repair facility used to coat the inside of the tank?
