Just realized a fuel leak from a bad O-ring in Pensacola taught me more than any classroom
Back in 2019, a senior mechanic named Dave spotted a tiny crack in the O-ring on a Cessna 172’s fuel line while I was about to slap a patch on it, and he just said "son, don't skip the small stuff." Anyone else here have a mentor like that who saved your bacon with one comment?

Always check the little things first, they're usually what get you.

@taylor668 nailed it, check that O-ring crack before it grounds you mid-flight.
