After spending big bucks with Prevost Jax to TRY to get the OTR working they quit and sent us on our way without finding the leak.
Jim Chapoulak told me about Welch Industries outside of Atlanta.
Arrived at 0800 Monday - it took them a day and a half to find the bad hose and remove it - buried between main and aux tank where it could not be reached. They figured out how to remove all of Angola's cabinetry and got the job done in 2 1/2 days including many new hoses, dryer and condenser. $1,700 - this is little more than Prevost charged to NOT fix the problem.
Contacts are Lamar Welch, owner and Craig Drinkhard, shop foreman and top leak finder.
770-474-1150

I finally know why Jon is so hyper on OTR - GREAT STUFF.
Lamar is delightful and a pilot who presently owns a Comanche 250 and is the only person I know who has owned more aircraft than I have and is also the only one I have ever met that owned a Stinson Reliant same vintage as mine.
It's worth stopping by just to talk with Lamar
