I been seeing rust flakes on fuel sample (2 or 3 black looking grains of sand) last few months, I have issues w fuel flow transducer quitting working, we check carburetor bowl and second fuel strainer on passenger side all clear, today we opened fuel bladders, only rust on bladders access plates was on fuel neck and was not much, once I got inside the bladders I found enough rust to fill two tea bags, lucky enough the rust flakes are pretty heavy and just few get to fuel bowl once in a while, looks like at some point plates rusted and was replaced but fuel bladders never got clean? No indications of any repair to blades on logbooks, I owned this plane for 4 years now and still finding poor ownership and really bad maintenance.
He's getting lots of love now 😁
Fuel tanks access plates sand blasted, primed and new gaskets going in tomorrow. I hope transducer dint bite the dust, darn transducer is 90% of the value of the jpi 450 😪
