This is probably true for most primers as long the primer is not overcoated. I decided to use plain cork sheets as the properties of the sticky back cork glue is typically unknown. On the other hand you could test it with your primer, some water and some fuel.. If somebody has negative experiences with cortec priming of fuel tanks please speak up now before I close the wings... regards Max > Time: 08:48:10 PM PST US > From: "david van lanen" > Subject: Zenith601-List: Priming Of Fuel Tank And Enclosure > > I recall reading a couple of posts in the past from builders who had > problems with their fuel tanks corroding through due to moisture between the > LE skin and tank.

PM me if you want the underlying correspondence...j -------- Cell +27 83 675 0815 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=236494#236494 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:10:14 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Priming Of Fuel Tank And Enclosure From: "Thruster87" I used alumiprep 33 then alodine 1201 then Valspar two part acrylic primer and the cork sticks onto it like s..t to a blanket.Won't hopefully have to worry about it for the next 20yrs. cheers Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=236568#236568 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:10:33 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: UK 601 mods : updates From: "Thruster87" K Dilks wrote: > From the LAA site. > Wonder if the ailerons will have better"feel" to them. > > Zenair Update - 12th march 09 > Following a meeting in Paris between LAA and Zenair management in January, including Zenair designer Chris Heintz, modifications to the CH601XL design have been drawn up and accepted by the LAA for trial fit as a UK modification package. The CAA have checked the LAA proposals but are also awaiting news from the Dutch authorities who have been doing parallel studies. A lead aircraft has been identified for testing the modifications, which involve reinforcements to the wing attachments, centre section spar and the addition of aileron mass balances. The modification of the lead aircraft is underway under the supervision of LAA inspector Gary Johnson. > > > > Kev Are there any pics/drawings/sketches out yet, of these mods????????
