-8A QB N192NM so I haven't had the fun assembling the tanks. However, it is time to install the float-type fuel senders.
I've got a tube of "stuff" from Vans that's supposed to work - if I can really figure out the mixing instructions. Some really basic questions:
1. Urban legand sez to toss the cork gaskets. Is that correct?
2. Bead size - what's appropriate? While subscribing to the "More is better" idea, what happens if the excess oozes from the cover plate into the tank and possibly breaks loose sometime in the future?
3. Rubber gaskets - just in case the **** thing doesn't work and I have to remove the sender, I intend to use the provided rubber gaskets without sealer, but put pleny of sealer on the screws before assembly. Good idea?
4. Shelf life - or more accurately - "After mixing useful life". How long do I have after mixing for useful application capability?
