Just finished my first fuel tank (RV8) and, not surprisingly, have a couple of leaks. One is at the top, outboard corner of the baffle. The other is around the fuel sender plate:
Right where I'm pointing. It's an audible leak.
On the baffle, I think I'm going to cut a hole in the end rib and access the baffle from there. Those ribs are very close together. I don't think I can make a hole in the baffle between them that's big enough for my hand. But is there any reason I can't slather some ProSeal on the outside instead?
On the inboard rib, that plate is ProSealed on good and tight. Can I make a fillet of ProSeal around the outside of it? I really don't want to try to get that plate off if I don't have to. I wouldn't know where to start.
Thanks in advance.
