| Subject: | Need Built and Tested Left PP QB Fuel Tank for RV-8... |
Dear Listers,
After my landing mishap in 2011, the replacement left fuel tank I had
built for my PP QB RV-8 has big leaks in at least four places. Slosh
would probably fix it, but everybody including Van's says "don't slosh!".
Does anyone have a lead on a Pre-Punched, preferably Quick Build LEFT
Fuel Tank for an RV-8 that is in 10/10 condition? Maybe from an RV-8
that had only right wing damage. I would like a tank that is proven
to not leak with no damage, and with a fixed fuel pickup.
I would love to get my RV-8 back in the air. The prospect of
building a new fuel tank from parts seems daunting and time consuming
right now, and prone to dealing with leaks again.
Thank you,
Matt Dralle

Matt-
There are five RV Tank builders listed in the Yeller Pages if you are so
inclined.

Less daunting might be to cut access holes in the back plate and seal the leaks
with Proseal. Van's makes a kit with the access panel, doubler and hardware.
Even one it each bay is way better than building new tanks.
