I'm getting started on the tanks of an RV 8. A couple of quick questions:
1) It seems to me that cork gaskets will have a finite and short life before they start leaking. Has that been a problem? Is there an reason why I can't substitute silicone of the same dimensions?
2) Photos below. Can I trim the T-715 attach angle to keep it from interfering with the rib? Maybe trim the hole in the rib a little? Or do I have to start over on a new rib and T-708 Access Plate?
Thanks in advance.
