Re: Fuel Tank Support
I pulled my tank and the aft edge of the wood tank platform had very little mushy. The rest of the wood seems as solid as a rock - I jumped on it a bunch - not even a creak. I'm going to leave it.
I would like to know how you re-fasten the tank back down ?
It was originally held in place by pcs of plywood being wedged between the fiberglass sides and the angled aluminum meant to hold the tank in place.
However, wherever the wood had touched the aluminum, whether the angled pcs or the tank itself - there was mild to severe galvanic corrosion. I want to avoid that in the future.
I have epoxy coated and awlgripped the tank ( probably overkill, but I had the spare supplies ). Also, I glued down 3M, 3/4", closed cell, adhesive strips on the bottom of the tank for cushioned support and to let water drain.
Once the tank is in place, how should I keep her firmly in place ?
