Default Sealant on drains ?
The sealant will be used for re installing the drains after the fuel is removed. I won't use any while defueling. . .

To Michael Burbidge: Just a question about the tank sealant you used, was this the Flame Master sold by Vans? The only stuff I've seen was the dark gray colored sealant, have they changed it?

Default Whole again...
Fuel tank leak repaired. It was just the cover plate, so it was a fairly easy repair. I Can't wait to fly again.

Good job, Michael. I admire your determination! I'm dreading the day I discover a leak!
