Phil, I'm glad you were able to fix your leaks without cutting open the wing. I was not so lucky but mine is now back in the air with 19.9 hours on the meter. After reading the above paragraph in your post my question is do you have vents between each bay in your tanks along the top edge? If not air will become trapped as you fill the tank and you would have large air bubbles in the tank instead of fuel. If the bays are properly vented the bottom holes are all that's necessary. I have two 1 1/2" semi-circle holes cut in the bottom of each baffle between each bay in my wing tanks with a 3/8" vent tube in the top forward corner between each bay. This setup seems to work fine for me. It allows the fuel to fill quickly and I've not noticed any fuel slosh in flight, assuming I would feel or notice it. Larry Flesner
