So I'm sending it again on the Piet list. Gary, I'm just about to the point of building up my center section. I was originally planning on making a C/S tank of composites but with the advent of Ethenol in our gasoline I figured I had better build one of metal. I remembered a picture you posted last December of your gas tank. I have some questions: 1. What is its capacity and it's dimensions? 2. I assume it is made of aluminum -- is that correct? If so, what grade and thickness of aluminum did you use? 3. What kind of sealer did you use? 4. Are they hardware store rivets or did you get them from an A/C materials supply? 5. Is the top of the tank covered? 6. What are the two large rectangular holes in the top of the tank? 7. Do you have any more pictures of the tank -- maybe in process of building? 8. Do you have any plans? If so, how could I get a set? I would really appreciate any information you can give me. Your tank looks about what I need. I can't weld so a tank made of steel is out.

I just came indoors to grab a bite.then back out to my wing! Later tonight I'll send you a bunch of pics, but for now, check out my embedded answers below. I am grateful for inspiration from Jim Markle and all the pics on www.westcoastpiet.com under his name, and to Jack Phillips for providing me excellent technical advice. Gary From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Charles Campbell Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 10:23 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Metal C/S gasoline tank I sent this originally to Gary Booth's address, but they kicked it back saying that the address failed -- for some reason. So I'm sending it again on the Piet list. Gary, I'm just about to the point of building up my center section. I was originally planning on making a C/S tank of composites but with the advent of Ethenol in our gasoline I figured I had better build one of metal. I remembered a picture you posted last December of your gas tank. I have some questions: 1. What is its capacity and it's dimensions? I moved my two outboard ribs out as far as possible, and raised the tank above the wing (Tiger Moth style) and estimate capacity to be a bit over 16 gal. 2. I assume it is made of aluminum -- is that correct? If so, what grade and thickness of aluminum did you use? .040 5052. 3. What kind of sealer did you use? Pro-seal from ACS. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ps890.php 4. Are they hardware store rivets or did you get them from an A/C materials supply? Avex pop rivets, left over from a previous project, but I think you can get those at ACS. 5. Is the top of the tank covered? I will be making a fiberglass cover, only because this method leaves an unattractive exterior. 6. What are the two large rectangular holes in the top of the tank? They are for future access to the tank, in case I develop leaks. They were also handy to see inside with a mirror and touch up any areas that appeared to not have any sealant oozing out.none were evident. It was also convenient to locate the filler neck in one panel, for easy manufacture. 7. Do you have any more pictures of the tank -- maybe in process of building? I'll send some tonight. 8. Do you have any plans? If so, how could I get a set? Design was similar to Jim Markle's, but the whole shape was merely traced off of the ribs, with a little extra added to the top. My tank mirrors the bottom of the center section. I would really appreciate any information you can give me. Your tank looks about what I need. I can't weld so a tank made of steel is out.

Get used to it, because as we age, this will become more prevalent. My old "main" computer is a Dell desktop, upstairs. More often than not though, we use our Toshiba laptop downstairs on the breakfast table. So, me being the administrator for my household and our little home network, and our kids being as they are, I locked everything down real good so they couldn't install stuff on the Dell, get into the router, or modify very much of importance. Locked it down so well, in fact, that I've forgotten the admin password. Tried everything in the book, but the more time goes by, the more it has evaded me. Now the time must come to hack into it so I can get my machine back. I tried the usual ploys and backdoor tricks, but no joy. So is there a magical backdoor or bootable disk that will allow me to hack my admin password or reset it? It's a PC running XP Pro but probably dozens of patches behind since I haven't been able to run the machine in months! By all means, let's take the discussion off-line though.

You might look there and see if it gives you the ability to change the password. Otherwise, try the tech support website for your router. Also, try just a plain ole Google search for forgotten password and your router's model number and see if there is help there. Just my computer semi-literate input.

So much so that we would not know what to do with all the leisure time they would create (at least that's what my Weekly Reader told me back in 2nd grade some 45-odd years ago)? Also, wasn't nuclear power going to be too cheap to meter (same source)?
