Hi All,
I've finished my left tank and working on the right tank now. Left got the standard pickup, right getting flop tube.
My question is - with the flop tube install, what if I skipped the access panel altogether? What is the down side?
If at a future date I need to get to the flop tube, I would have to cut access through the baffle to get in.
I prosealed the access panel for my left tank - i imagine getting it back open a few years down the road will be a battle anyway. Seems for the right tank, keeping the inboard rib solid would save some weight.
What other downsides?
