3-5. Gaskets, Leaking. When some metal surfaces are bolted together a compressable gasket is
required to reduce or eliminate the leakage of fluids or lubricants. Gaskets are also used to seal
systems against fuel leakage or to keep contaminants from entering. Leaks can be tolerated
if the fluid leaking does not constitute a fire hazard or does not leak at a rate which will deplete
the required lubrication.
Limitations:
Frequent inspections required.
