--> Europa-List message posted by: D Wysong <hdwysong@gmail.com>
Sorry for the bad question and confusion. I'm finishing the
plumbing on a custom fiberglass tank (not for a Europa) and
am looking for general "lessons learned" for installing the
AN fittings.
Did you simply drill the wall of the tank or fill neck and
install the fittings with the AN nut? Was any sort of
hardpoint or bulkhead (flox or aluminum) used? What about
large washers? Are your holes drilled net or are they
tapped to receive the AN fitting? Jos mentioned using
redux. Is that used on the outside to "seal" the fitting in
place? Any other "gotcha!"'s I'm missing?
Thanks for any info/tips you're willing to share.

You don't say how the tank is made. I guess it is vinyl ester
resin/glass cloth but does it have a foam core?
I just drilled the tank, (polyethylene) then pushed in the AN fitting
with a large washer each side and screwed on the nut. Warming the PE
helps soften it to get a good flat contact both sides.
In your case something similar but using Redux420 or whatever they call
it now, to form a fuel tight seal should work. You might try an O ring
in a chamfered recess to seal the tank.

What diameter? Assumed wide-chord and HP hub (i.e. machined from solid)?

Ron,
I must have missed part of this thread so tell me if I'm wrong here.
Are you talking about a valve that will open automatically should the
vent tub become clogged, and if so what catalog/company does your page
numbers refer too? I would like to mount one in the filler tube venting
it into the cabin.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff
"I must have missed part of this thread so tell me if I'm wrong here."
You must have missed my first post.
Go to :

Scroll down to:
Matronics Listserver
For first post.
I saw a few 1 way valves that tweaked my interest and listed them in 2
posts.
