So we had other more pressing issues during the annual, but it seems our airplane doesn't get a good seal any more due to the rust on the tank, and we definitely DO get condensation and even rain getting into the tank. Fortunately the other side is still OK so we use that for takeoff...
Any ideas how to safely remove the rust (and the uneven surfaces) from the tank without getting a spark ? A full (or even worse empty) tank is definitely a fire/explosion hazard ??
