Brief Description:  Right Fuel Tank 18

I pressure tested the right tank over the last couple of days. At first I thought I had a leak, but it tured out to just be the filler cap. I got that sealed up and the tank tested good!

I went ahead and mounted the tank on the wing. I have to pull that tank back off because I have a slight (couple of thousanths) interference between the tank sjin and top wing skin. A couple passes with the vixen file should do the job.

If you look back to old tank logs, you will see that the tank skin was sitting slightly proud of the LE. Once the tank was assembled, the problem was very small. I used a ball-peen hammer to slightly shrink the LE radius of the tank where it attaches to the LE. No more problem!

Tank LE even - the tank skin is thicker so it will sit a bit high no matter what
