Shop is finally finished - worked on fuel tanks

Well, after many weekends of effort insulating the attic (it was just too cold to work), installing lights and organizing, the shop we're back at it.  Today we installed another space heater and the last two lights.  After that we spent around 3 hours working on some of the last details of the two fuel tanks.  We started on the fuel tank vent lines by installing the fittings in the end of the tank.  It was also time to start on the wiring for the fuel sensors.  Those fittings were installed on the tank as well.  Of course, we needed to mix up some more proseal to ensure that the tank doesn't leak.  I'll admit that the tank leaking is my biggest worry. 

 

 

 

A photo of one of the tanks with the fuel vent line (the blue one) fitting installed.  You can also see the capacitive fuel sensor connector.  I drew a red box around the parts because I felt like getting fancy. :-)

 

 

This is the inside of the fuel tank.  You can see the fuel vent line fitting and the sensor wire.  All the grey stuff is the fuel tank sealant.  

 

I tried to take a picture of the fuel tank vent lines (we used our flaring tool for the first time) but for some reason my camera couldn't focus properly. 

 

We would've installed the end plates and fuel pick up tubes today but we are missing a couple of nuts (no comments from the peanut gallery).  Those are on order from Aircraft Spruce in Toronto so hopefully they'll arrive shortly.
