| Subject: | Sealing fuel tank fitting |
I'm adding a bulkhead AN fuel line fitting to my fuel tank and am wondering what
to use to seal around it. I've heard of Proseal, but I don't know what it is
or where to get it. I want something that won't be attacked by gasoline or
alcohol.
Any help will be appreciated!

You can get 1 oz Proseal (flameguard) from Van's. But, I think proseal has
a problem with alcohol???? At least that is what I have read in the forums,
in relation to auto fuel. You may want to check the specs before you use it.
If you get the 1oz version you will not have to worry about measuring the
part A and B....it comes pre-weighted.....

Try Aircraft Spruce or Wicks. It's a two-part grey mess that smells
awful, but seals great. About $40 for about a quart. WEAR GLOVES!!!!!

A 2 part mix sounds like an epoxy, which seems like overkill for an application
like mine. It seems like I should be able to use a non-hardening Permatex form-a-gasket
type of stuff. Am I wrong?
Thanks!

Proseal is not an epoxy, but it is the real deal for tanks. Sealed all the
rivet lines on my RV-10 tanks, and used it, as recommended by Vans, in other
places like the rudder trailing edge. I am sure there are other sealants
that would be effective and easy to use for the fitting. Just trying to
answer the proseal question.

Hi Steve,
I'm making some tanks for my 801 and am going with proseal and rivets too. My
plan is to seal and rivet the filler neck flange even though edge distance will
be minimal. The attached picture has some details and measurements. I believe
that the 05-1056 part from aircraft spruce is the same flange that Zenith
sells and is compatible with the SPRL caps.
Would you mind posting pics of your tank build as things progress?
Best regards,
Ben
