I have an RV-6. I have noticed that a couple of rivets
on the top skin are weeping fuel. Is there a simple
fix?

I think others have successfully used a drop of locktite. Try the RV-List
archives or Google for possible details.

What worked for me was the Green Locktite that is a wicking type.
Don't remember the series number. It is impervious to gas and
recommended by Vans.

I believe it is Loctite 290 or Permatex 2900.

That's interesting! If it's bottom rivet, do you have to drain the
tank before it will wick?
I wonder if it would work on a fuel-line fittings.

Try this link

Look under patches....it is a slick system and works well. It might
be a last resort fix.
