| Subject: | Has this ever been done... |
Hi,
I filled up my RV-10 on its third flight and had to see that it leaks out through
the vent line. The QB tank maker obviously has forgoten to tighten the nut
to the an fitting inside the tank.
Did anyone ever manage to build a tool that would allow to enter through the tank
sensor hole to tighten it?
I'd hat to take off the tank and go with Vans advice and cut a hole to get inside
the tank, and ruin my paint job. The soft screws most likely won't come out
easily as well.
Any ideas?
Mike

Do like I did. Have Vans send you a new tank. Mine leaked from the rivets.Not enough
proseal. I sent a DTPA notice and got new tanks made and installed by Vans.
The new tanks still leak the same. I gave up. I found another way to seal
my pimply looking tanks. Regards, Robert

Mike Andresen in AZ had this problem and machined a tool to fix it without cutting

I'm pretty sure he is on here, but don't know his moniker. He has a blog of his

After ~300 landings on my original Aero Classics tires, it's almost time
for new ones. Based on the recommendations here, I'm considering the
Monster retreads. Do I need to worry about my wheel pant clearance? If
so, I may just get the Aero Classics again. Thanks...

The info you are looking for is on the VAF site. Search for azcloudflyer 2011 for
a description and photos of the tool he made.

I blew the sides out on one pant from switching to retreads and not widening
the gap. Make sure you have clearance.

Mike,
I can confirm that arizonacloudflyers's tool works. Same issue, QB wings and they
hadn't tightened the nut that holds the vent line to the end of wing. In
my case,, the plane wasn't painted so I pulled the tanks for easier access. After
putting the tanks back on, I tested to see if it would still work with the
wings on. I can confirm that you will have sufficient access with just the
wing walk covers removed.

The ones you get from Desser are NOT monster retreads. They are listed as H
igh Performance Retreads. The "Monster" ones don't come in our size. Yes, t
here may be a little more tread and clearance needed with any change in tire
, but ours aren't Monster.

I just switched back to Aero Classics from Desser retreads. I got about
200 landings out of the retreads. The thing I really didn't like was that
the plane was VERY hard to pull around with the towbar using the retreads.
The aeroclassics are much easier, and FWIW they weigh at least 4 lbs less
per tire.

| Subject: | Monster retread clearance issue? |
Tim is correct, no monster retreads in our main gear size.
I just replaced both mains two weeks ago with Desser retreads. I only had
120 hours on the original Aero Classics but I found one tire ruined from a
dragging brake (and that brake pad worn down to the rivets). I replaced
both tires just because. The only thing I could find on the brake problem
was perhaps a rolled brake caliper 'O' ring. The right side was fine and
that brake pad looked brand new.
No problem with clearance on the retreads. The cores are Goodyear and the
quality looked good.

I would advise against the Monster Retreads. Yes they might last a bit
longer, but you will do less landings as you get more time, and the
landings will be ever so much smoother that the replacements will last
twice as long. ;-) I use standard Desser retreads on my Mooney, where
clearance in the gear wells would be an issue with the Monster retreads.
Never had a clearance problem.

We were able to do it here, with a bit of patience, some smaller hands and

tanks open!
I'll have to ask the guy who did it what he did ...
