My aircraft finished it's annual about 5 weeks ago, but I performed some fixes on it myself. Today I finished the fixes and filled the main tanks up. As soon as the line person filled up the tanks it started leaking fuel fast. Fuel came out of this small hole in the wing near the outside of the both booms (not the drain valves) and started flowing inside the booms leaking out of the seams and flowed all the way to the passenger windows on both sides and started flowing down there. One side finally stopped and after waiting 15 minutes, the other side slowed down considerable. I plan to go back tomorrow morning to see if it has stopped completely. My question is, when my aircraft overflows because fuel is topped off (1966 C337A), is it suppose to just flow out the vent or have other experienced it flowing all over the wing, boom, and fuselage. I'm guessing the mechanic didn't put something back together right, but I wanted to check with the forum first.
