Aerobatic fuel pickup installation - 2.5 hours

I used a syringe to put a dollop of sealant on all the rivet exposed rivet heads on both left and right rib #1 and the shop heads of the tank attach angles.


Next I had tapped up the fittings on the aerobatic fuel pickups to ensure that no proseal whould get inside. I slathered up the fitting and installed them in the tank.

After a good cleaning in MEK I gooped up the area with proseal and torqued the AN924 jamnut on. I spread out the proseal on the nut, cleaned it up and applied a dollop of proseal to the exterior tank attach rivets.

 Next I used q-tips dipped in MEK and started the long process of cleaning proseal off the aluminum fitting threads. Some final wipes with the cloth and then I could remove the tape.
