You can design the part not to leak….

.. or in the case of the DC2, design this part to catch & vent the leak from the fuel selector valves overboard….

Reminds me of the *drip tray* one of my old BSA’s had under the carb: I’m not sure what the original intent was, but what actually happened was it filled up with fuel & then ignited when the bike backfired thru the carb…. 🙁

Me & PR are pulling the engines…

Interesting…

I’d like to see some pics of the DC-2, too!

What’s the background to the work you are doing on this very rare birdie in it’s anniversary year?

A who what?:confused:

In a related matter:
Lockheed made P38s in that hangar during WWII & later some kind of jet, I forget which. The hangar next door has 5 A3D’s parked outside belonging to Raytheon Flight Test.

I’ll take some more pics tomorrow, the former TFC Tigercat, a T28 & an Albatross are parked at the other end of the hangar….
