Fuel Cap

I stuck my snake camera into the tank and it’s surprisingly clean inside. Still , I will wash it out.

I need to flatten the flange before installing the new gasket. Bill Carter has a nice mod for this, but it’s $300 a set.

Neck and cap cleaned and zinc plated. New cap gasket and cap chain pin. Tank gasket on its way. For my records, the pin is an AN416-2. Tank gasket is RG-108. Fuel cap gasket is 108-1121112.

I need to pop out the big dents yet. I have a kit, just need to use it.

Where in the world did all the dents come from, apparently a common problem since there is a kit to remove them. Would be interesting to see how that works!

- Ed, it’s a 70+ year old airplane. It’s going to have some dents.
