Brief Description:  Right fuel tank - found a leak

After letting the right tank sit all night, in the morning the pressure had dropped somewhat. I pumped it back up to 1 psi and got out the soapy water and I found a small leak around the BNC connector for the fuel probes. Not a big deal as it is right beside the big inspection cover. I put a fillet of sealant on the outside of the fitting with the plan to open the cover and fix it from the inside. I need a new gasket so next time I place an order with Van's I'll get one and fix it permenantly. This way I can make sure there are no other leaks and declare victory.
