"Oh the weather outside is frightful..."
Which means it must be a good day for building. My knee is feeling pretty good so I'm starting to wrap things up before I go back. I'd like to get the tank installed and the fin built before I go back to the life of jetlag.
I turned on the heater, got out the parts for the tank and got to work.
First up: applying gasket sealer to the feed, sump and vent attachments and screwing them in. As I found out, a little goes a long way and too much goes even further.
After that come trimming the fuel float wire and transducer support arm, and attaching the float to the transducer.
Tap the tank for the screws, apply gasket sealant and screw it in position. Voila!!!
While I was inside I missed some freezing rain and I could feel the snow coming. Maybe I'm being overcautious but I decided to take the tank home with me and let the sealant set up in a warm living room.
And about an hour after I got home....
