Fuel tank pressure test |
|
|
Pressure up! Sitting 4cm over the reference mark first thing in the morning. Reset to reference and started heating the shed. Went up another 4cm after 2 hours. The fuel tanks are secure! Fitted a previously roughly hacked out block of 2" H45 to the OD bulkhead/smoke oil tank side with micro, and another on top with urethane glue. Roused out my landing light, an Aveo Exceleron Daylite I picked up for a reasonable sum at Oshkosh last year, and the BMW electric mirror mount I had intended to fit into the nose and gazed at them for a time. Make a urethane foam form to make a bracket around and layup 10 x BID over it. Prep the foam, and apply 2 x BID inside the hell hole, over the site for the gascolator, Taped up the drilling template, opened up the layup throught the drilling template with a nail from inside, and clamp the drilling template on top of the layup with cleco from outside. |
