 Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2009 7:48 pm Post subject: Priming Of Fuel Tank And Enclosure |
 |
|
I recall reading a couple of posts in the past from builders who had problems with their fuel tanks corroding through due to moisture between the LE skin and tank. Therefore I was planning to prime the outside of my fuel tanks and the inside of the fuel tank enclosures in the LEs of the wings. I am using PTI zinc chromate primer on my airframe. Has anyone else done this, and if so, did you have any issues with adequate adhesion of the sticky-backed cork strips to the primed surfaces of the fuel tank?
Thanks,
