REFLECTOR: Fuel Leak Techniques?

[Craig and Denise Woolston]

Okay collective wisdom of the reflector, John and I are at our wits end.  We
can't seem to fix a fuel leak in one of our tanks.  Wanted to solicit any
other techniques we haven't thought of yet.  What's been particularly tough
about this leak is that it doesn't appear to leak on the ground; only after
flying will it show a stain streak.  It also is such a small leak that it
will hold air pressure day after day with no appreciable leak down.  The
other very odd trait is where the leak stain shows up and that is just above
the landing gear where it comes out of the fuselage.  This is a fix gear XL
if you don't remember, that passed leak checks years ago, flew at least 15
hours before this showed up and now we just can't seem to nail this down.

 

Thanks in advance,
