Tanks complete






The excitement got the better of me, but I do believe my tanks are leak free. The true test will be with fuel some time down the road (a long time) but I am proud that I was able to produce leak free tanks without the need for opening up the baffle.

One thing I attribute this to besides absolute dumb luck (there is some of that as well) is that I did not spare the proseal, and did not make an attempt to do the prettiest job.  While I was building I often would go on VAF and see the photos of people's tanks that looked pristine and think to myself that I somehow was doing an inferior job. Because I was liberal with the proseal, and did not try to thin out the sealant on every seam to look nice, the results were very pleasing here.
