My RV-10 has one weeping rivet on each tank. The offending rivets are one rib in on the top of the tanks near the forward edge of the wing-walk.
I have used two rounds of loctite 290 and think the leaks are very close to being sealed. I would like to put a vacuum on the tanks to see if I can draw any more loctite into the leaking areas.
My question is: what do I use to draw the vacuum? Harbor Freight has a $15 AC vacuum pump. Will those do the job or do I need something different altogether?
Thanks!
