    Both of mine leaked at the fittings. They would not tighten up and the sealant didn't seal adequately. See above two pictures to see where they leaked, The Header tank that is leaking from the top ( the picture posted Yesterday, 10:57 PM) is the one that was in my plane when I purchased it. I went to go flying with my wife the first time, and we opened the door, and the plane reeked of Gas Fumes. I replaced it with the second tank, (the picture posted at Yesterday, 10:59 PM) which leaked from the side fitting. I finally replaced it with the aluminum tank. Since then my wife has never been willing to go flying in the plane!
