It has been two months since my last update. The weather is starting to get cooler and life is starting to slow down alittle. That can mean only one thing, I have time to work on the RV-7. I have spent the last two weekends working on the fuel tanks. I finally finished both fuel tanks and I am pround to say no leaks. I tested them this weekend and they both passed. My fuel cap didn't even leak. I feel very proud of myself that they both were good. I moved them into my home office to get them out of my way. The garage looks empty without them.....unless you ask my wife then you might get a different story. As you can see from my pictures I tested them with the Van's test kit. I did have a little trouble with the balloon leaking at the attachment point. I started out with a zip tie and that didn't work So I used some sewing thread to wrap around the stem and seal it up.
I am so happy to be done with the tanks. I am looking forward to other projects and not having to deal with proseal for a while.
