No carpet on my -12 Fuel Tank...
FWIW,
For the purpose of visually monitoring the fuel tank for early signs of weepage I elected not to carpet the tank. Part of my preflight is to eyeball the tank for signs of leaks. |
Although like Walt, I hate to find those kinds of" issues", I'm reminded how fortunate it is that Avgas has such a powerful smell and has blue dye in it. It makes leaks --- even teeny ones - almost self detecting.

And if you are going with hard lines like me, then use 5052 grade with much better fatigue strength(used in certified aircraft).

Walt will be performing a pre-buy for me today on a 6A and I always knew I wanted Walt to be involved with my next purchase......this thread just reassures that I made the right decision to have Walt do the pre-buy. :D
