Default Annual Off to a Good Start


How do you
get a Cherokee tank out? Derivet? Remove a wing?


Actually, it ain't bad. You remove the 48 structural screws that make it
a part of the wing (been there, done that to both tanks). If you can
spot the leak and it is one of the "usual" suspects (overflow hose or
sending unit gasket) you are home free. If it is one of the rivets you
have a little longer trip home. Jay was able to get at it and rebuck it
down. Most times, you send the thing out to get completely dismantled,
reriveted back together and sealed. Around $400 per tank.
