Guys,

thanks so much, appreciate your answers.

I have a Lockheed TriStar Service Digest from the 1976 with all 32 pages decated to Fuel Conservation. Here are some of the fuel penalties from the artical, for missing/damaged seals:

Slats - Missing chord wise interslat seal 5,040 to 5,970 gal per year.
Cargo Door - five square inch effective leak 11,750 gal per year.
Passenger Door - five square inch effective leak 11,750 gals per year.
