So, I have both my left and right fuel tanks closed out. I am in the process of getting them ready to pressure test. I have inserted all of the fittings, including applying fuel resistant thread sealant...?. until I came across a problem...?
While inserting the filter, I got it about half way when it galled on me..... I attempted to remove it and it ended up snapping where the filter is attached at the threads (see pics below)?.
Any ideas on how to get the rest of the filter out? Or am I going to have to open the tank, drill out the threaded mount from the rib where the filter screws into and try to replace it all and then seal everything back up?
any guidance is much appreciated.....
Did I mention that I hate fuel tanks.....?
