Brief Description: Riveted bottom skin of fuel tank
A messy stinking mess, for sure, but I riveted on the bottom skin as directed. A day or so later I put a light in there and saw light from the two cracks just below the tank plate so mixed up more ProSeal and stuck that in there. That seems like an obvious point of failure in the design but we'll see.
Ditto over on the end plates.
Before installing that tank pickup tube plate, I test fit the the pickup tube but found I couldn't get it out. Thinking about it, I decided I didn't like that so tried to get the fitting out but, of course, it had snapped off. Still, I think it would've leaked if it'd left it there so drilled off the plate and ordered new parts.
In the meantime, I'm rewiring all the fluorescent fixtures in the hangar to accommodate LED tubes. That's going to be so great on those cold days when I couldn't see anything.
