 (f)  
There are no seals on the external side of the seal plane and fuel that goes through the seal plane follows the path of least resistance. 1) For example, a row of fasteners in a groove are wet but

 only one fastener has a leak. 2) If the fastener with the leak is sealed, then the fastener with the next least resistance leaks.

 (g)  
If you examine the leak path you can see how fuel gets from the internal leak source to the external leak point.

 (h)  
To understand the leak, examine the fuel tank structure and sealant.
