So I am getting to the point I can start thinking about sealing up the tanks on my RV-7 build. I have a couple of questions for the group.
1. Flaring tools. Is there a need to flare something on the aircraft in a confined space? I am looking at the this flaring tool that wont work in a tight space.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/flaringtools2.php . Is this something that should be a concern? I dont want to buy more than one tool if I can get a way with it.
2. Fuel return lines. How many people have needed them. I havent even started to think about engines but I dont want to have to install a fuel return line after the tank is sealed. Is it worth it to just install one now in case I need one later?
3. Cork gasket. I have been reading and it looks like some people recommend just using tank sealant in place of the rubber gasket. Has anyone had the cork gasket fail?
Thanks for reading my long post. I appreciate all the help this group provides.
