Procedure

 S 796-332
 (1)  Do these steps to find the external leaks and to make a map of them:
 NOTE: You must make a precise map of the leaks for this procedure
____
 to find the leakage.

 (a)  
Clean the external wing surface around the area where you think the leak is.

 (b)  
Use solvent to remove the grease from the area.

 (c)  
Dry the area.

 (d)  
Apply a mapping agent to the area. 1) Use talcum powder or a similar powder for a mapping agent.

 (e)  
For running leaks, do these steps: 1) Find the origin of the leak. 2) Stop the fuel flow with mastic or tape to make sure that

 there are no other paths for fuel flow.

 (f)  
When the leak is found, remove the seat from the leak site and find the origin of the leak precisely within the seal.

 S 656-333
 (2)  
Defuel or transfer fuel from the tank that has a leak
 (AMM 28-26-00/201).

 S 656-334

 (3)  
For the tank with the leak, do this task: Purging and Fuel Tank Entry (AMM 28-11-00/201).

 S 796-335

 (4)  
Apply compressed air to the external leak point to force back the fuel faster and to dry the area.

 S 796-336

 (5)  
Completely clean and dry the external leak point with solvent, Series 82 (AMM 20-30-82/201 or SOPM 20-30-82) to supply the best adhesion of tape.

 NOTE: This step is important for successful leak detection.
