MLU is wonderful
Hi All
Isn't MLU wonderful, a simple statement on making a fuel tank, as resulted in a very interesting and informative discussion of new tank fabrication, old tank sealing, old tank cleaning.
How well you can actually clean a tank is probably the biggest issue in using a sealant.
Now as to cleaning, as Terry mentioned using crushed glass, remember years ago reading how somebody had taken a tank put several pounds of crushed glass into a tank, then strapped the tank into a cement mixer and let the cement mixer sit there and rotate at a low speed and it did a very nice job of cleaning the inside of the tank.
All of this is giving more information to clean and repair one fuel tank from my Pat 12 then fabricate a new tank to match for the other side.
Cheers Phil
