We are doing final assembly on the fuel tanks of an RV-9. The plans show to close the end and make several saw-cuts over the last inch of the fuel pick-up, no problem. Another member for our EAA group stopped by the hanger and said, no, you want to install some type of screen pick-up. The band-saw cuts will be too large and potentially allow a piece of foreign debri to make it into the fuel system (Proseal bit or something that may come in when re-fueling). I would like to hear some opinions on this from other builders, anyone had problems with the way Van's shows to do it? What other options are there?
