| Subject: | Re: FUEL TANK SEALANTS |
Barry,
I have aluminum fuel tanks in my Zenith 701 (4) 11.5 gallon tanks. They we
re welded at the factory and I haven't had a
problem with leaks..... yet.
Since you have been having this problem for awhile with leaking tanks, may
be a more permanent fix should be made.
I'm sure it would be alot of work to get the tanks out, and they are full
of old sealant that would make this impossible.
My friend has been fixing tabs and threads on his harley engine for awhile
now with great sucess. Watch this video and please post any comments.

Hello Gaggle:
I have been fighting leaking fuel tans for a while. The tanks are aluminu
m
and sealed with PRO SEAL or the equivalent.
Since my engine likes both AvGas and MoGas and MoGas has ethanol I would
like a sealant that can stand up to both.
Stop - I know about the trick of removing the ethanol from MoGas but that
is
only about 90% effective.
I would like to run straight MoGas.
Would anyone out there have any experience in this area?
Thank you for the assistance.
Barry

I would love to do that....
Problem is the TANK is the WING. It is know as a Wet Wing.
And the material is only 0.020" thick. And there is no access to the inside
of the wing/tank for ANY type of welding.
Some problems are really problems ;-)
The main problem is that the sealing compound's chemistry has changed due to
the EPA. It is know to be cancer causing in California Rats. WHO CARES!
I'm not a California Rat and I don't plan on eating it!
I just want a gas tank that does not leak.
