From: "dgardea(at)gmail.com" Peter, When you get it apart, I recommend when you reassemble coat the threads with fuel lube (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/ezturnlube.php) to seal the filler neck. I used this last time I installed the filler neck and it came right out when opening the wing for the upgrade. Fuel lube does not harden and provides a great seal.

Is anyone using the GSC In-Flight Adjustable Prop on their 601/Rotax ? Thanks. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:36:54 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Fuel Cap 601 XL. From: "Ron Lendon" Boy do I know about that part coming out hard. When we did the CZAW teardown one tank was difficult to remove the flange but it was a one man job and wood did the trick. The second one was a three man 1.5 hour job using a steel insert to turn the flange. We used penetrating oil and worked the flange both ways and gradually it came out. The fit was not good and they used some type of hardening sealer on the threads. Used the Big tap from Zenith to chase the threads on both tanks and used Fuelube to seal the threads. P.S. I ran a low pressure test on my tank the other day with only fuelube on the finger tight threads of both the finger screen and the filler tube, RESULTS: no leaks. Low pressure test is tying a latex glove over the vent tube, inflate the glove and seal it up, wait to see if the glove deflates. -------- Ron Lendon, Clinton Township, MI WW Corvair with Roy's Garage 5th bearing Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=301374#301374 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith601-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith601-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith601-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith601-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
