Nothing more fun than a game of "What is wrong with this picture?" Shouldn't be hard to spot. IMG_5098.jpg

This was done by the original owner/builder and I never spotted it due to the fact that I just put the wings back on Saturday. It's the first thing I have found which seems to have been done completely wrong. SOOO, I am wondering, what would be the consequences of just leaving it as is, besides not getting accurate fuel readings while on the ground? The manual shows the sight gauge tube installation being performed before the root rib is joined to the spars, so wondering if it is feasible to just plug these rittings and install new ones into the fuel tank?
