Brief Description: Installed left fuel tank access plate
I did not feel very good tonight so I did not spend much time in the shop. All I did was install the fuel pickup tube with fuel lube and install the fuel sender and access plate into the tank. As per the plans, I coated the threads of each screw with some proseal. I did not proseal the gaskets, although I reserve the right to do so if the tank leaks there. I then hooked up a clear 3/16" inner diameter plastic tube to the vent fitting. In a few days, once all of the proseal cures, I will pressurize the tank with water in the clear plastic tube to see if the water line stays put (indicating the tank holds pressure) or if the water line goes down (indicating a leak in pressure). I called Patrick and asked him to calculate how many inches I have to raise the water level to pressurize the tank to 2 pounds. He will crunch the numbers and get back to me.
