I have an early Kitfox 5 outback.
Currently I am finishing up the fuel system, specifically the fuel lines from the fuel tanks to the header tank. My question is should the screen fittings that screw into the tanks be inspected periodically for contaminants such as part of an annual inspection? Does anyone know how robust the threaded holes in tanks are? Is there threaded inserts or it just into the fiberglass. My fear is that the threads will tear out of the tank after repeated removal.
I have also read that these early tanks break down after a while can cause engine failure by plugging filters, gascolator etc. Can anyone comment???
