• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Today while I was fueling my Pitts S1-S, the plastic fuel filler hose I use broke off at the tip and the pieces were flushed into the tank. There is about about 1-2 square inches missing from the tip of the hose.

Is there a way to fish or flush out the debris or do I need to pull out the tank from the airplane and clean out the tank?

If I end up pulling the tank out I should probably change the flop too. Who supplies them?
