Does anyone know the name of the company that builds RV fuel tanks, they are in Lakeland Fl? Thanks Tom
 
Hi Thomas...

re: tanks

I had a little help, I think 2 or 3 friends, building my RV10 tanks. I thought it was kind of fun actually. None of us are all that anal about the proseal, acetone, mek, suit-up/glove-up, whatever. We did use rubber gloves to keep the stuff off our fingers and making a big sticky mess. But over all, it was kind of enjoyable, really. BTW, all the helpers were RV builders or were finished building.
You might give it a try before you farm it out, you might find you like it.:)
But then again, I'm kind of cheap.:D

OK, you expert tank builders, I have a question.

I have the materials to build new tanks to replace the quick built paint blister producing units now installed. (yes, new blisters are continuing to appear - the tanks were built in 2002)

The first part of the build process is to match drill the Z brackets to the spar sheer web while the bottom wing skin is not yet installed (if I read the instructions correctly).

Obviously, if the tanks are built by someone else not local this is not possible - the tanks arrive built without the Z brackets matched drilled to the wing. Am I correct in assuming that these brackets can be match drilled to the existing holes after the wing is closed out?
