Gerber suggested a phenolic ring Hysoled around the inside flange end. When the o-ring on the cap expands when closing it pushes in this unsupported area. I'm going to use this solution. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:10:55 PM PST US From: Gary Gerber <44gn@kconline.com> NO_REAL_NAME@matronics.com Subject: Re: FEWMustang-List: FEW --> FEWMustang-List message posted by: Gary Gerber <44gn@kconline.com> Ok sounds good I will look forward for the fuel caps. I'm sure Ed when you ask the other builders to get on line I think they will. It is exciting setting down in the evening and get your email it's just like Christmas. We have so many good builders who have so many great ideas that make the job much easier. Keep the good stuff coming. The pic's are great.

If so, you have no need for an additional phenolic ring. Hysol is a poor choice to use in the fuel tanks, as it is soluble in gasoline and in ethanol. Resin/Flox is not, so a better choice. This is also an important consideration when you close your wing. Several of us, after learning of this charactoristic of Hysol, have been careful to lay a generous bead of Resin/Flox on the tank edges of the cap strips to preclude contact of the gas with the Hysol bond.
