Hej !

 

Having a PA30 in Sweden and using it frequently - unfortunaltely the left solenoid / fuel selector for the tip-tank is leaking a little inside the valve, so to say from the tip backwards into the aux-tank, when the tip is not empty; when the aux is full the expensive liquid drains out through the vent from the aux - no problem when filling upp the tip direct before flying as the leak is only little and not significant but when filling up the tips on the evening before a flight next morning several liters pours out on the hangar floor. We tried to find replacement parts for the valves/solenoids but that seems completely impossible - some suggestions how to solve that problem ?
