Don't forget that if the atmospheric pressure rises overnite, your condom
will deflate..

Hi all,
I am a newby to the list. However I have been a lurker for quite some time.
I have finished a 701 with the 912S and just got the FAA "pink" slip. I was
wondering what distance from the Datum line to the center of the wheel are
you guys seeing on the 701? I have 695mm and was wondering if thats in the
ball park of you finished builders.

Well yes, BUT you are going the inspect the tank the next day about the same
time of the day, and probably same temperature, or very similar. SO IF, there
is no air coming out of the perfect sealed tank, inflation at the given time
will be the about the same, for our test.
If it is really deflated then reinflate (lungs preassure) and check with soapy
water.
At late and colder night, we should be worried and looking at the "inflation"
of another one, in a diferent place :-) :-)
Sorry for the joke, please do not archive..

Dear Thread Friends, when we are talking about a possible leak from a fuel
tank we have heard about using water and diesel fuel, air pressure and rubbers,
soap and what not for testing tanks. Frankly, it is possible because of the
viscosity of mo-gas all the way up to 100 octane which is so small compared to
other fluids, that a tank could have a weak seal that would seep gasoline that
water, nor diesel would show or air to be noticeable. Consider this scenario:
you have tested a tank, thinking it fine because of a flawed test, installed,
front nose skin riveted closed, painted wing, wired and mounted on the
fuselage when the first time you put high octane fuel in the tank and you start
smelling the fumes?? What would that cost in time, effort and money to you as the
builder? The prudent builder should want to test any subsystem as close to
actual use as possible before assembly. FWIW, Best of luck, Bill

Well, been there, done that... In fact did it today...for the second time.
You have no idea how emotionally hard it is to take a drill bit to your
wing...TWICE!!!
The first time I opened up the wing was to fix a stuck mechanical
transducer bob. The second time was to fix the damXXX????XXX! leak around
the transducer fitting in the side of the tank. And yes, we did check the
tank for leakage before re-installing it back in the wing. Actually, it
was a good thing I opened the wing the second time. I also found that the
new fuel line had split just beyond the hose clamp attaching the fuel line
to the ferrule coming out of the tank. I'm thanking my luck stars I have
a local fellow builder (601 XL, Corvair)who was gracious enough to lend me
rivets, rivet dies, and a shoulder to cry on...TWICE!!!

That's pretty close, mine is 31.5", but I'm using PegaStol wings, they are
about 5" more forward than ZAC wings.
