I'm finally getting to the end of my fuel tank assembly. I have followed the instructions to the T for the fuel senders, but I have a nagging doubt.
When the nutplates are installed in the end rib no proseal is needed because the bed of proseal on the end under the sender will seal them. But what makes the screw holes sealed? There aren't any particular instructions for that, and I didn't get any proseal up through the sender holes and around the heads outside the tank.
I know that the screws got proseal on them when I sent them through the holes because they had to pass through my bed of proseal on the rib. But was it adequate?
Did anyone cover the nutplates and screw ends on the inside of the tank with proseal? Am I overthinking this? Will the thin band of proseal on the screw as it enters the nut plate threads take care of this?
