Air In Fuel, Bad

To help find the fuel lines' air leak, a clear length of hose was installed on the fuel supply line, just after the fuel tank selection mainfold. From the presence of air it was obvious that the starboard forward tank was the culprit. Replacing the flared 'L' fitting on the tank eliminated the problem.

The hydraulic steering fill port is now located under the steering station instruments. A simple 3/8" brass plug has replaced the old fill tube and dipstick.
