I have access to a 20 ft fiberoptic borescope. I'm here in San Diego.
Wouldn't mind playing with it as long as we don't break it. I could never
afford to replace it...

My A&P took a look, sure enough, said I have never seen anything like
this. The Sundowner doesn't have any access panels to the fuel tanks!
Everything is riveted tight as a drum. So.... now do I have a leaky

tank, or do
I have a fuel line problem.

I don't know squat about Sundowners, but I'm wondering how it could be
that
here are NO access/inspection holes on the wings. Certainly, there has to
be access to the wing attach bolts. Also, how does the fuel line get
connected after a wing is installed if there are no access points?

I've seen some remarkable snorkeling periscope tools that allow one to
"peek" around corners inside a wing when the inspection hole isn't where
the
problem it.

Have you considered that Beech technical support might be able to help on
this problem?

Good luck, and let us know what happens.
