Good news / bad news...

I leak tested my left tank today.

Good news: I only had two small leaks in the lower corners just forward and aft of the tank attach bracket. An easy fix with a bit more sealant.

Bad news: I began mounting the tank on the wing and got all the bolts in and torqued before noticing that I need to file the inboard edge a bit where it abuts the leading edge skin. All those bolts have to come out. Argh.

Could be worse, but still... :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about all those bolts having to come out, but great news that your tank was mostly leak-free!
