Baffled

Baffle was installed on the right tank last weekend. This is one area where sitting with the plans for some time with a highlighter is wise.

More Fuel Tank Progress

Tanks are complete except for baffles. I highly recommend the preliminary leak test prior to putting on the baffles where you fill the tanks with colored water to see if you have any issues which can be corrected. In my case the problem areas are shown below. The ones at the junction of the three pieces underneath the tank attach bracket are very similar type of joints to the corners of the baffles so lesson learned there. Get an inspection mirror and look underneath the j channel as well as under any joint to make sure you have a fay seal with NO small pinholes. The nut shown below has proseal around it but there is a very small hole where the sealant failed to settle. Liquid will find its way out.

Once that is complete I will start the baffle work. I will not spare the proseal because the last thing I want/need is to have to repair the tank once it is closed.
