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.

Or.............................You get at it, rebuck it, reinstall
it..........then wait 5 weeks till it starts leaking again. Then you send
it out to be done correctly!
