<<One good thing about repairing it this way is that you can see how the
wing
looks inside, and get a good picture of your squeeze out. I know my friend

a lot happier because know he knows its o.k.>>

Too bad you took so long to post the wing leak solution as I just got
through doing it the old fashioned way.  I started out using tape to seal
the fuel sender area and finally got a plastic 3/4 pipe plug sealed with
RTV.  For the fuel caps I just tightened up the O-ring a little and it was
leak-tight.  Got the tanks they would hold pressure without any detectable
leak for several days.  As you can see, I was totally unsuccessful in
finding any leaks until I tried your method....

ES, no leaks
