Building a fiberglass fuel tank and using aluminum fittings?
Many years ago (about 40), I made a tank for my smith mini by cutting blocks
of white Styrofoam into the desired shape,sticking a VW gas cap and nozzle into the top and sticking the fittings for the outlet in the bottom. Then I covered the whole thing with fiberglass matt and epoxy resin. After curing, I just took off the gas cap and poured acetone into the opening. I had to pour slowly to allow it to work (dissolve the Styrofoam). After pouring all the sludge out and allowing time for the remainder to harden, I mixed up some sloshing compound and sloshed the tank. As a final task I covered it all with fiberglass bi-directional cloth and epoxy resin. Was still working fine last I heard. Chuck wrote in message ps.com... Can someone point me on how to build a fiberglass fuel tank and use aluminum fittings? Thanks Bill |
