 |
|
Just as a follow up to my earlier post on having a leak in my right gas tank at a rivet. After much discussion I decided to drill out the rivet that was leaking and I then drilled it out to a #27. If anyone does this, make sure to vacuum out of the tank for any drilling debris and also the back side of the rivet. Mine was stuck somewhat in the old pro seal so I had to wedge it loose. It wasn't easy to get at but I bent a piece of fuel line to get at it. I used that same piece of fuel line, hooked to my vacuum, to get out the debris.
Anyway, once it was ready to put back together I inserted a glob of pro seal up into the rivet hole and then put pro seal on the end of a cherry max rivet and riveted it in.
I've refilled the tank and ran the engine since then and it seems to have solved the problem.
Hopefully this might help anyone that runs into the same issue.
