Subject: | Fuel Cap 601 XL. |
Hi Guys,
I am trying to remove the threaded flange cap assembly from one of my wing
tanks to seal the thread and stop some fuel leakage. I am having great
difficulty in removing it. Is there a way to do this without destroying it.
It is presently stuck so I can't thread it in or out.
Thanks
Peter

If you haven't forced it and galled the threads try to get some penetrating oil
down into the threads. The threads seem to gall easily and once that happens
you are screwed. I know, I ended up using a pipe wrench and rubber mallet to beat
out the fitting so I could remove the tank and send it back to Zenith to weld
in a new fitting.
Good Luck
