I had a couple leaks in my fiberglass tank found after putting it all together. The leaks were on the bottom seams that I just didn't quite get right. I used epoxy to seal the leaks, West System specifically. My tank in built into the forward turtle deck and is removable. I was able to take it off the airplane, pour the epoxy inside through the gas filler hole, and rotate the tank so that the epoxy ran into the seams. I haven't had to go back and do it again in the last 8 years, so it worked.

I sloshed the glass tanks on my KR with it 18 1/2 years ago. After 18 years of use and over 1000 hours of flight time, I have observed no issues with the slosh sealer, nor have the small weeps I had in the glass ever come back. I've got a gallon of this stuff in my hangar to use on the glass tanks in my SuperCub sometime this winter. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > > I would like to seal my fiberglass fuel tank. > > I am looking at the Bill Hirsch gas tank sealer from Aircraft Spruce. > > What experience have you had, what has worked? > > Thank you, > > Joe _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
