Brief Description:  Fuel Tank Work

Most of the day was spent agonizing over how to install the newer tanks. The old tanks were abandoned in favor of the new tanks which eliminate 14 hole that needed to be drilled in the tanks. I did not like the attachment brackets that need to be fabricated for these new tanks. They are difficult to get correct and they do not really apply any outward pressure on the tanks to help keep them to the outside of the ship. It also seemed that it was easy to crossthread the bolts if you weren't careful. Spent of lot of the day contemplating whether to use the old attachment brackets or not. Decided on a new bracket design which I will fabricate and will be easy to bolt on and it will solve the problem of over tightening the attachment bolt and will give support in multiple directions versus the one direction a with the currrent new system.
