| Subject: | Re: Tank repair options |
Brad Shafer is having problems posting here, so I am forwarding his Facebook posts.
Like many others, I woke up to gas on the floor and a crack in the tank.
Mine was low on the saddle. I liked what Dave Disney had done so I drained the
tank and created an opening in the top. With the ability to inspect the inside
of the tank (which is a very nice option to have!), I found another narrow crack
in the bottom corner that must have been there for awhile.
Given the placement of the cracks, I couldn't find a way to gain access with a
heat gun so I needed to find another option. I found this (https://tbbonding.com/)
as an option to patch poly tanks. I talked with them and felt good about
trying. I like the idea that the patch is flexible and will expand with the tank.

Worst case, it doesn't work and I do the full tank replacement. The bonding process
was straight forward and fairly easy with access to the inside of the tank.
So far it is holding well after 6 months but I'm going to do some more testing
to make sure.

Found a nice solution for artwork on our Europas. I worked with Alwan Wraps in
Michigan (sales@alwanwraps.com). For $250, they created a CAD image of a trigear
and worked with me to layout the artwork. And then the decals were $450 including
the tail and wheel pants. I'm assuming that anyone else wouldn't have to
pay the full $240 since the CAD work is done already. See attached pics. Really
happy with the results.

For my panel, I used Front Panel Designer. They have a great free design tool and
create/ship the panels fairly quick in the US. The hard part was getting the
panel outlines into CAD to start. From there, it was actually kinda fun with
their design tool. The cost was between $50 and $175 depending on the thickness
and complexity (2mm or 3mm). Let me know if anyone wants the CAD or Front Panel
Designer files.
