(bigdog@bentwing.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:50:32 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV-List: 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 RV-8 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:18:54 PM PST US From: Gary VanRemortel Subject: Re: RV-List: Need Built and Tested Left PP QB Fuel Tank for RV-8... Matt- There are five RV Tank builders listed in the Yeller Pages if you are so inclined. -GV On Tue, Jan 5, 2021 at 4:54 PM Matt Dralle wrote: > > > 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.

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.
