Brief Description: Section 18 Page 18-7 Steps 1 to 3.
2/1/2009 .. Page 18-7 Steps 1 to 3. Today I went flying for about 2 hours in Lowes Aviation C-172M aircraft. After returning home I again started back to work on my X-10 project. This is where I attached Stewart Warner fuel sending sensor. First I bent the wire that the Float is attached to into a figure of 4 inches by 4 inches as described in Figure 1 and trimmed and deburred the excess so the wire would fit exactly. I then inserted the base of the sending unit into the Tank Rib End T-1003B-R adding the screws. I adjusted the float so the complete range from zero at the bottom of the tank to full at the top of the tank with-out hitting the Rib Stiffeners or the aluminum Vent Tube. When satisfied I removed the unit and then added a coating of Pro-Seal to the base and screws and re-inserted and tighten the screws so the Stewart Warner fuel sending senor would not leak. After about a week of drying time for the curing of the Pro-Seal I am going to test the forward leading edge of the tank for leaks using water. Time about 1 hour.
