Tonight's session started by squeezing on the rivets for the nutplates that will secure the fuel level sender. These nutplate rivets don't require any tank sealant because the fuel sender itself will be sealed when it is later installed. However, installing these rivets was complicated by the fact that they are too far from and edge to use my normal hand rivet squeezer, so I ended up repurposing my DRDT2 dimpler to work as a rivet squeezer and it actually performed quite well.

The next step was to install the fuel bung fittings, which all required tank sealant on their mating face prior to riveting. These were all close enough to an edge that I could use my hand squeezer on them. I did feel that Van's recommended rivet length is a little long for this application because I had a couple of rivets topple over and need to be drilled out.

After those were done, I installed some diamond-shaped anti-rotation plates in a similar manner by applying tank sealant to their mating face before squeezing on the two rivets that hold each one.

After installing those rivets, I encapsulated the shop heads with more tank sealant by using a plastic drinking straw to form a round blob on top of each.
