My 15 year old RV8, with QB tanks had been leaking on the left tank for the last 10 years. Every method to fix it, including the ones mentioned in this thread were employed, with mixed results. Some even worked for awhile, only to start leaking again a few months later. I lost count of how many times that tank came off the wing. The biggest problem was the lower inboard flange. I was slowly beat down where I was willing to live with the small seeps from rivets. But that flange, good grief!
Anyway, I finally bit the bullet and sent the tank off the “Weep no More”. Please do yourself a favor, and just skip to that step. The tank will not leak when he is done. Nothing else short of duplicating his method (good luck with that) will work as a permanent solution. Go ahead and flame away, as I no longer have a dog in this fight. My tank doesn’t leak anymore. If you want to know how I build my shipping box, send me an email.
