Collier>Paul- I will stop by at the airport tonight and write down all the specs. on the sloshing compound. I believe it may have been a DuPont product. It is specifically for aircraft fuel tank sealing and works very easily and quickly. Cost by the gallon is very high and since it only requires a cup or so to do a Piet tank it would be great to share some already available. Actually, my tank probably took less than a 1/2 cup.

As a precaution, I, too, had used a sloshing sealer, a Randolph product atthe time, in both wing and fuselage tanks; it worked well for about a year.But repeated use of auto fuel caused it to turn into a molasses-like gelwhich blocked everything and was very difficult to clean out. I have sinceremoved the sealer, everything works fine with much less worry.Jim Malley________________________________________________________________________________
