(a)  Fittings and connections attached to or passing through tank boundaries are sealed with O-rings. When installing O-rings, they can be pinched, scored, twisted, or otherwise improperly installed, causing a fuel leak.
3.  Leak Evaluation and Repair Requirements
A.  For information on how to evaluate a leak as it relates to leakage rate and appropriate action to be taken, refer to 28-11-0 D&O.
B.  Typical Repair Requirements
(1)  
Failed fillet or fastener seal - Faulty sealant material must be removed, surfaces thoroughly cleaned, and new sealant applied to produce a seal of the same size and shape as the original seal.

(2)  
Failed faying surfaces or prepack seal - These seal types require disassembly of structure or removal of fasteners. Accomplish such removals as directed in the Structural Repair Manual. Another repair method for this type of leak is to raise the seal plane. The new seal plane must completely isolate the failed seal from fuel, but the seal plane should not be raised an extensive amount. In many cases, structure removal and replacement is the best method.

(3)  
Failed injection seal - All faulty sealant material must be removed and channel must be thoroughly clean. Channels must be completely filled with sealant. Trapped air causes a void and is cause for rejeection of sealing job. As an option the failed injection seal may be repaired by raising the seal plane.

4.  Repair of Sealant Leaks in Tank Structure
A.  Sealant repair requires the use of toxic and flammable material for cleaning or surface sealant or finish application. The importance of providing adequate ventilation and observing fire safety precautions can not be over emphasized.
WARNING:  PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND OBSERVE ALL FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING TOXIC AND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
B.  Equipment and Materials
NOTE:  All equipment used for application of sealing compound must be clean. All equipment used must be cleaned thoroughly after each sealing job. Two part compounds, those mixed with an activator, will harden and make cleaning of equipment extremely difficult.
