Brief Description: Trimmed Leading Edge of Fuse/Tank Intersection
The left fuel tank did not lay tight against the fuselage at the leading edge. The tank was removed and the offending area was marked with blue tape. The reason for the interference was because of Proseal on the tank. The skin was trimmed and filed smooth.
Some of the screws could not be unscrewed from the fuel tank because the screw holes were mistakenly countersunk, instead of dimpled. The countersunk screw holes were enlarged and the screw heads went thru the fuel tank material.
