AD 85-06-04 applies to J-3 fuselage tanks, and requires the installation of an elbow, quick drain, and tubing to exit beneath the fuselage.
I'm curious if anyone has a "friend" <wink> who has deviated from that AD.
I have a "friend" who did not install the tubing, but left the quick drain inside the fuselage in order to drain his fuel into a fuel tester so that he can see the quantity of water collected/ removed from the tank.
I'm not sure I'm happy with my "friend's" setup, particularly since I realize that it does not conform to the letter of the AD.
Thoughts?
