Any thoughts from this group on the best material for new tanks, fabrication hints, and/or removal/installation suggestions? The small light Cessna products of the last 50 years use aluminum fuel tanks. Those tanks don't leak. Some bigger airplanes carry internal fuel tank bladders. Those DO leak, after a while. My rain gutters, possibly yours too, are either aluminum or vinyl. (USA practice) After my neighbor's not-so-handiman cut down an overhanging tree onto my gutters, I replaced several. I was interested to see what water had done to the inner unprotected aluminum surface. In general they were clear - though I saw several small patches of black corrosion, where possibly some leaf had sat for a good while Brian W |
