Brief Description:  Install fuel tanks

I recieved my tanks this week which i had fabricated by Evan's Aviation Products up in Redding, CA. I am pleased with the results, looks like a real proffesional job. It saved me making a mess of things with the pro-seal and risking screwing something up. Also saved me a few weekends i imagine.

I installed the upgraded locking fuel tank caps as well as the pre-fabricated screened fuel pickup. I went with the standard stewart warner type float-type fuel level indicators.

The tanks clec'od right into place but i did have to match drill the rear T-912 angles to the main wing spar and install all associated nut plates for fastening the wings to. The an3-4a bolts holding the rear baffles to the wing spar were torqued to 25 in-lbs and in marked these with torque seal.

Now on to closing up the wings.
