Nice looking F-12 tank especially if you did the welding yourself:)
I have been reading all the on-line blurbs concerning sloshing compounds I can find and pretty much none of them are good. Even Randolph has a statement on their sloshing compound cans that states "not acceptable for aircraft." Sounds like sloshing causes more headaches than it cures. It did not take long for you guys to convince me that sloshing is not where it's at and that good pressure testing is :))
Thank you very much for your time,
Randy

Presumably with a welded tank one can do an underwater pressure test ( in a
pool) so that one can see the bubbles and then mark them with a sharpie and
re-weld?
I will be doing so before final installation
Mine is a nose tank in a Falconar F-12 and it also sits behind the panel.
But I am hesitant to fill mi tank with some goo that may come off in time
and clog my fuel supply.

This is not a riveted RV tank. I is a welded Acro Sport tank and I
have two. A 20 gallon and a 10 gallon. The sealer is for any pin holes
in the welds. The tanks set inside the cockpit above my legs so I
would like to be sure they do not leak.
One reply - riveted tanks need slosh but welded do not ???
2nd reply - welded tanks need slosh but riveted do not ???
I would really like to hear from someone that has used slosh in a
welded tank.
Thanks,
Randy
