For you guys that have built aluminum wing tanks and are
using automotive fuel with ethanol,
which Pro-Seal did you use?
I see two types in the Aircraft Spruce catalog.
One is called Pro Seal P/S 890 Class B ad appears to be a one part
sealer.
The other is called Pro-Seal Type tank sealant and is described as a two
part polysulfide in a cartridge.
Hi
Jim,
I've
always bought mine from Van's web store (they sell to anyone, not just
builders). Here's a link to the tank sealant page in their
catalog.
If that link
doesn't work, here's a shorter one:
As for
resistance to anything evil that might get added to auto fuel, I can only say
that I don't hear of any problems with auto fuel in RV's. That might be a
good reason to stick with what Van's sells. An added bonus is that it's
quite bit cheaper too.
Also keep in
mind that this stuff has a shelf life of about 4 months. Truth is
that I've used it years later (not for anything critical) and it still
works fine.
Finally, make
sure you get a clothes pin for your nose, because this stuff STINKS
:-0
Cheers,
Rusty (fog
