| Subject: | Re: fuel tank sealer. |
Our professional experience in our factory is more with Stainless Steel, but
when we were building our Zenith 701, we noted that the aluminum needs treatment
to recieve any paint,
We painted some little parts before assembly, the paint peeled so we unriveted
them and painted with Zinc Cromate as a primer. Not using Zinc Cromate will
make the paint peel off, probably same happens with the sealant over the inner
surface of the tank??? Is suposed that this fuel tank sealers are developed
that way... But for how long (years)? or does some autogas ruins the sealent?
The tanks with sealer in the rivet joints only dont leak, neither the welded
ones, when done correct.
Just my point of view. Could be completly wrong.

Sounds like the best way to go, if you can weld aluminum, or know someone that
can, is to just do a welded tank and avoid the sealer problem all together.
Or am I missing something?

Here in our factory, my brother Larry is a good welder, so as we fly and build
airplanes, once in a while we get some weld jobs for friends pilots...
A friend brought once an alu wing tank from a Kitfox to see if can be fixed,
the idea of the owner was to make an "inspection window" in the tank to see
why it cloged often and didnt transfer to the header,... later close-weld the
window.
Not easy to do, with the thin aluminum used in that tank, We though was better
to make a new one, so we opened it (cut, no heat),
what we found was that all the sealer inside was peeling off. This was a factory
demo, that the owner bought in the spot. so (I think) was sealed well...
Was a white material.
Also I read from the VW conversion list by Mr. Bob "the other" H oover, by the
way a very experienced home builder, that the sealant should be used only
when the tank was riveted instead of welded, using the sealant as a "gasket"
betwen the two areas to rivet. Also he uses only one brand of sealer, but cant
remember the name now.

Has anyone got a prop hub on order from William Wynn? I ordered one in
October last year but can't find out an expected delivery date as my emails
to William aren't answered and his phone is permanently engaged.
