The other day when I came to the aircraft, a Cirrus SR22, I noticed that there was TKS fluid leaking from the vent onto the fairing and ground below. The tanks were full and it seems as the apron was not level which meant that the fluid from the left tank filled the right and then the excess fluid, almost half the left tank, was vented overboard.
Is there a way to counteract this or do you just have to be careful where you park with full TKS tanks?
It’s totally normal. Can’t do anything about it.
I would be seriously pissed if I bought a million dollar aircraft which is that hyped up, lost fluids that cost 4 times more than AVGAS and the manufacturer told me it was normal and cannot do anything about that. Not to talk about the mess it makes. But maybe that is just me.
System over filled ?

No, I do not think so. It didn’t leak after the refill, it started after we had relocated the aircraft and put it on an apron that wasn’t level.
I am a bit suprised about this I must say.
