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 Wonthaggi Australia http://zodiac.cpc-world.com ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:14:19 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Fuel Cap 601 XL. From: "Wingrider" 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.
