Hello good Piet-ple,Hope you all had a good holiday break....!!Had a chance for Mike from "Ready Weld" to stop over and finish up the weldingon my fuel tank. I next have to install the sumps and pressure test the tank -then I can move on to more work on the center-section. I never thought the tankwould take so long, but I have sure learned a lot....!!Details: Tank is .063 5052 Aluminum, weighs 21 pounds without the sumps, shouldhold about 20 gallons to allow for about 2 1/2 hours + 30 min reserve. (seeolder posts for the internal structure and more details)Gotta love the rainy weather (aka "airplane building season")Jake--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/_ima ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Welding fuel tank to wind up 2015...
