Repairing leaking fuel tanks <after> removing top skin

[BCairboat]

Brian Hi. bcairboat is Grant McDaniel I worked for Murphy for a few years as
technical advisor before going into the Airboat business. Personaly I wasn't
to keen on wetskin fuel tanks at first. After working with them awhile I
began to see the benefits of the set up and became very confident in the
application. I now use it in some of my airboats which are subject to a lot
more vibration and abuse than an aircraft wing. They are built into the seats
to save space and provide flotation at the same time. I no longer contribute
to the list nor have the time to but still read it I only spoke up because of
safety concerns with fuel, I can't standby while someone incinerates
themselves. The solution given to you is what I use. When properly mixed it
is non flammable. Light detergent clear dish soap is used because it can
rinsed clean and the offending area scotch brighted and resealed. If you are
concerned with your mixture make a small batch and test it for flammability
and then put it in an apparently airtight tobacco tin upside down. Very
little of the fluid will remain in the tin. Murphy makes a good product with
a lot of history The wet skins are one of their success stories.
