Brief Description:  Sealed outer and inner most left hand tank ribs.

I cracked open a new tube of tank sealant and went to work sealing and riveting the T-405 and T-410's to the left hand fuel tank. I sealed the fuel vent and vapour return line fittings in place and torqued them down to the required values. Then I 'fayed' the edges of the outer and most inner tank ribs and 100% clecoed them in place. I will let them set up for 24 hours then I can wet seal the rivets in place. When I was tightening the B-nut for the vent line I ended up twisting the tube a bit. Next time I will make a mark with a Sharpie so I can see when this is occuring.
