I need to address some long standing small fuel leaks on my RV3. I have read many threads and gained some good info. I will be ordering some of the round cover plates from vans but have a few questions.
1. My tanks are older and I think they may have used the formerly recommended slosh compound in addition to proseal (they are white inside) how will this complicate any repair if true.
2. When riveting on the repair plates with proseal can they be easily removed if necessary for a second repair?
3. When i installed my tank end sender I used the supplied rubber gasket with both sides of gasket covered with permatex type 2 non hardening sealant and ten years later no leaks. Would a homemade gasket using the same stuff work on the new inspection plates? Would be advantage to make plates easier to remove. Has
anyone had to drill out the blind rivets for a second repair? Is it hard to do?
