DV - I suggest you listen to MightyHunterAGE, he knows what he's talking about, as he known to me personally. It was only 5 days ago he forced me to do my fitness test...

Anyway - the fuel leaks you are talkign about and the ones in question are not realted. A fuel leak that would be ADF'd would be from the wings of the aircraft, from bolts, manhole covers, any part of the INTEGRAL tank that it could find it's way out from. As long as they do not exceed set limits, then they are allowable till a time comes when they will be fixed. In flight, any fuel that does leak out of these will be minimal, and will simply be blown instantly into the airstream. Leaks from couplings in fuel lines are a totally different matter. These will never be ADF'd, and will always be fixed.

As has been noted on here previously, Rib 7 leaks are a different matter.
