Hey, check out this 10 second video of an absolutely startling fuel leak I found this past week during a “routine oil change.”

The reason I put that “routine oil change” in quotes is because I’m convinced we should never view an oil change as just a routine thing in itself.

Rather, it should be viewed as an opportunity to become a detective and find any other issues that might need attention in the surrounding area, especially in the engine compartment… like a fuel leak.

Notice the blue staining in the following pictures… clues of a fuel leak:


Apparently, the gasket on this fuel screen plug was hardened and brittle, and no longer able to provide a good seal.

Listen to today’s podcast episode to hear the story about this fuel leak, and how it was solved.

Also, notice the safety wire on the fuel screen plug in the video… it’s in a very tight spot that’s really difficult to work in. It was a bit of an ordeal to even get the safety wire off the plug to remove it.

And reinstalling the safety wire was even more challenging… which reminds me of something I want offer you:

Between now (Saturday, December 14) and Christmas eve, December 24, 2019 at midnight Eastern Standard Time, I’m offering a 10% discount on the safety wiring video tutorial course, “Safety Wire Like A Pro!” This course will teach you everything you need to know to perform excellent safety wiring during preventive maintenance on your airplane.

Whether you’re changing the engine oil, cleaning fuel screens, or safety wiring a brake caliper after changing a tire, there’s a detailed video in this course to help you with that task.

Become a safety wiring expert with this detailed training opportunity. It’s like I’m right there with you at your airplane… you can set your laptop on a table by your airplane, play the appropriate video, and do your safety wiring right along with me, as you watch me in the video… it’s like having your own personal instructor right beside your airplane.

So don’t settle for that ugly, loose safety wiring that I too often see on airplanes… instead, take advantage of this valuable resource and become a safety wiring expert!
