Brief Description:  Continue riveting left fuel tank

Continued wet riveting the tank skin to the ribs following the same process described earlier. That is, removing the cleco, cleaning the dimple with MEK, dabbing the dimple with some proseal, inserting and driving the rivet. The shop head is then checked and the machine head is wiped clean and inspected to ensure a flush finish. Getting a good flush riveting job seems a little more difficult on the tank than on earlier components. Not sure why but it is definitely taking a little more time and attention to get the desired results.
