   I never found a problem but part of the pre-flight inspection on light   
   planes was pulling a sample from a drain cock to make sure your Cessna   
   wasn't flying on water.   
      
   I had a '82 Yamaha Seca that had a graceful looking tank. The problem was   
   all four corners were low spots that accumulated water and would   
   eventually rust out.
