Blue stains under the wings and debris in the fuel sample is what I've
been advised to keep an eye out for. There's a really nice 182 at my
field that was just painted and had a new leather interior installed
shortly before one of the tanks started leaking. Some fuel even got
into the interior. I hope it didn't leave any permanent stains. What a
pity it didn't happen before all the new work was done.

The new tanks now a days are very flexible.

Just for my future reference, what are the signs that a bladder needs
replacing? Rubber chunks in the fuel sampler cup? Fuel stains or an obvious
leak under the wing? Something else?
