Day 3 & 4 Cleanup and Sealing Tanks
I did some cleaning yesterday and today but I forgot to post it yesterday. Not a huge deal since it didn’t really change the appearance of the tanks that much. I did find a single rivet that I forgot to encapsulate so I got that sealed and I also got the fuel level senders sealed up now too. I also ordered some 3/8″ NPT caps to close up the tank holes so I can put some gas in these and try it out. I might just try to fill it with water and see if that has any leaks before trying something more expensive like gas. Still trying to see if that’s a good strategy or not to make sure the forward portion of the tank is sealed before I close it off by putting the rear baffle in. I also still need to add the additional 3/8″ NPT fitting on the top inboard rib so I can have the fuel returns plumbed up in case I do a full FADEC engine.
