 |
|
I fitted my tank sender units to the tank using just the rubber gaskets, and
a little automotive sealer on the screws.
After filling the tanks with Avgas to check for leaks, within a week the
Avgas has caused the rubber gaskets to deform and bulge, causing a major
leak.
I am contemplating doing what many other builders before me recommended,
leave the gasket out and proseal the sender unit in place.
I want to share this experience with all those that might be thinking along
the same lines as I was.

In the RV7 world, which should not be too much different than the RV10
world, the seals are left out and proseal is used exclusively. No leaks in
1.5 years. It was not too big a job to remove the seals and redo. Larry in
