I was looking over the web site of a flying club that posts the minutes of
their meetings. One item said that fuel was running out of the wing of
their 172 when the flaps were fully extended because the overflow drain was
broken. They asked that the tanks not be completely filled until this could
be fixed.

Am I just overly compulsive about maintenance or are these people nuts?

BTW: Since I said something about Mooney, I feel I must say something
about Bonanzas too. Most of them will leak fuel out the filler cap
if filled to the top unless both the internal and external cap rings
are replaced regularly (and most are not).
