This week was more work on the left wing fuel tanks. I have been doing small jobs such as getting the right size screw to fill some machine holes in the tank ribs and sealing the screws. For some reason the rivets the factory calls for are too small so I had to use 1/4 - 20 screws. I also started leaf testing the right side tanks and I am happy to report no leaks so far. I also started assembling the fuel senders and attaching/ sealing/ bending them per the plans.
One modification I decided to make was to shorten the wire fore the fuel sender. Its an adjustable sender so I had almost a foot of extra wire. It was a very simple process to cut the extra and solder the sorter wire back in place. Towards the end of the week with the sender and plate complete I tried to install it in the fuel tank and it wouldnt fit by a lot so I have sent an email to technical support and will have to let you know how that turns out next week. The float ball contacts the rib so much so that I cant get it to work correctly.
