No liquid-tight seals through the FRP sump wall (“bulkhead fittings”)
Hi Jonathan. Thanks. 100% correct
There are 2 missing boots.
Hi Brian. Exactly. For the trained yet, this is pretty obvious.
Looks like the seal between the piping and the sump has worn off. If there is a fuel leak, it may enter the environment.
Hi Myrtle. All the way from USVI! Thanks for the reply. Yes, with the seals, shallow ground water could easily enter into the sump and corrode everything
It is not sealed and there is corrosion
Hi Mervin. Exactly. There definitely should be some secure bushings around the pipes entering this sump.
