I am about to dive into my QB wings and I have a couple of questions for others that have been down this road. I know that there is a Service Bulletin with regards to the tanks. I was thinking of taking the tanks off the wings to inspect the work behind them and then doing the fuel sender hook ups, is this wise? My worry is the tank will be a pain to put back on. The screws that hold it on are not as flush as I would like but maybe that is the best they can be or it is because they are not torqued down to the final setting.
I bought the parts to put in a flop tube pick up in one tank. The folks at Van's said this can be done on QB wings. After reading the plans the fuel sender goes in the second bay of the tanks. Has anyone done this without taking the tank apart? I am not sure all of the items needed for the flop tube install can be done through the access hole in the end. I am thinking it would require removal of the rear baffle.
Thanks for any help, oh and feel free to mention any other gotchas with the QB wings.
Cheers
