Fuel Tank Leak Repair
We Find the Leak. We Seal It. You Fly Safe.
If your Citation 500 is showing signs of a fuel leak, fuel smell in the cabin, visible streaks under the wing, or unexplained fuel loss, we locate the exact source of the problem and fix it right.
We inspect the tank using pressure testing, dye tracing, and visual checks to pinpoint the leak. Once found, we remove old sealant, clean the area, and reseal it with FAA-approved materials. If components like gaskets or drains are faulty, we replace them. Finally, we pressure-test the repair to confirm it’s sealed and flight-ready.
