Hello! How many list members perform their own maintenance on their PA-28-235's? When's the last time you pulled your fuel tanks, checked the sealant, and replaced the tank mounting screws? Are the fuel lines inside the wing leaking at all? Have you pulled the bottom cover off of the tank selector valve, inspected it and replaced the O-ring? Do you ever pull the lever under the back seat to drain the sump/check for water?... before the first flight of the day, or? Oh, and do you squirt a little silicone on he starter drive,after wiping it off, as required, EVERY 20 flight hours?
