As best I can tell, in limited areas, my Proseal has reverted and I have one significant fuel seep, and after pulling the tank, have found several areas which are at risk for future leaks/seeps. (plane finished 1995, not by me)
Completely removing the Proseal is very laborious, and, unfortunately, my discretionary time is very limited. Also, the original inner sealant is flaking away (very thin, translucent cream colored flakes/strips), and will need to be addressed.
I tried to reach out multiple times (over several weeks) to "Weep No More", but have not gotten a response.
If all else fails, the plan is to put a gallon or two of MEK in the tanks, slosh it around to dissolve away in inner sealant, the apply a better/newer (hopefully more reliable) product, and scrape away the external areas of failed Proseal as best I can, and re-apply new Proseal.
Does anyone have:
1. recommendations/instructions for better methods I can use to to remove the Proseal in the areas of failure, and appropriate re-application?
and/or
2. a business/resource I could send my tanks to have someone professionally reseal them?
Any suggestions are welcome.
