Section 18: Fuel Tanks (20 hours)
Finally, after about 1 year, i finished the fuel tanks. 1. Installed the Fuel Guardian. Verified that the sensors worked by testing in water. Decided against installing a baffle. instead, Rich mentioned possibly changing the code to add a delay to the warning signal. 2. Prosealed the rear baffle. Made sure to add as much proseal as i dared. In retrospect, I could have added even more proseal in the corners. 3. Pop-riveted the z-brackets. 4. Leak tested using a bike pump and balloons. However, the balloons never held air because of leaks around the fuel cap. I sprayed soapy water as an extra measure to confirm there are no leaks.
