| Subject: | Proseal remover? |
Anyone have a method for chemically removing Proseal from the inside of a
tank? Mine are over 18 years old. I bought the plane used 12 years ago and the
right tank had a minor leak back then and, to my surprise ;), it hasn't
gotten any better. Anyway it's not minor any more and I have the tank off and
have a couple gallons of MEK in it but its not doing anything fast enough (that
may be good for finish cleaning but not for bulk removal). Paint stripper
maybe? I don't want to open them up just yet because if I have to scrub it off
I
know I'll miss something and have to do the process again in the middle of
resealing. Thanks.
Jim

| Subject: | Langley, BC, Fly-in June 21 |
The Langley, BC fly-in will be Saturday, June 21. This is the annual fly-in of
VAF Western Canada Wing. Langley, BC, is about 20 nm north of Bellingham, WA.
We generally have a good turnout of RVs from all over BC, and a good contingent
from the U.S., too.
Details are on our web page,
<http://www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ>
For U.S. visitors, we also have all the information you need on border crossing
procedures. It's really not a big deal, although you do now need a passport to
return to the U.S
<http://www.vansairforce.org/misc/us_arrive>
I hope lots of RV-Listers can make it.

There's a product called SkyRestore that will soften up proseal. I've never
used it but here's a link to some:

Let us know if it works!

stop right now. you have a leak go after that leak soaking the tank will only cause
more leaks and require that you disassemble the tank to cure them.
call me and i will walk you thru tank repair. 559-270-7113

I probably didn't make myself clear. I had a small leak when I first got the
plane. Now I have dozens of them. I already have the tanks off (along with
the wings and fuselage in my barn). I have a laundry list of other repairs and
updates I have been putting off for years and now is the time. The tank thing
was out of hand before I did anything. This -4 has nearly 2000 hard hours on
it.

| Subject: | RV-4 Firewall Modification / Governor Retrofit... |
Hi Listers,
I'm working on the prop governor firewall retrofit on my RV-4 firewall
and its actually is coming out pretty nice. Here are a few pictures of
what's involved if you've not yet had this pleasure...
http://www.matronics.com/MattsRV4/MiscPictures/GovernorCutout1.jpg

http://www.matronics.com/MattsRV4/MiscPictures/GovernorCutout6.jpg
http://www.matronics.com/MattsRV4/MiscPictures/GovernorCutout7.jpg
So here's my question: What type of rivets are used for the retrofit?
Considering that I will be using that yucky, gray gunk to seal
everything coupled with the fact that access to both sides of the
rivets will be restricted at best, I'm wondering if some pop rivets
might be in order? I note that the type of rivet isn't called out in
the little instruction sheet that came with the retro kit (a flat sheet
of stainless.) Anyway, what's the consensus on using pop rivets here?
If it seems okay, what type would be best?
As always, thanks to all for the help,
Matt Dralle

I did one of those retrofits and, assuming the engine is out, I had no
problem with standard AN rivets even bucking them myself.
