FUEL TANK REPAIR (CONTINUED)
NOTE
To repair holes bigger than 1/2 inch across, do steps A-R.
To repair cracks or punctures less than 1/2 inch across (or
in length), do steps R-V.
A For holes larger than 1/2 inch across at any point, cut away damaged
area. Make smooth-edged circular opening. (Sharp angular cuts make
repair more difficult.)
Scarf crater to at least 1-1/2 inch. Shape sides down to opening.
C Blow away dust and clean repair area with dry-cleaning solvent (item
17, Appx B).
NOTE
Presence of oil in repair area will result in poor adhesion.
A 1/8-inch application of regenerated silica (item 5 -
Repair Kit) compacted under a warm pad will withdraw oil
for improved adhesion.
D Measure repair area and estimate material requirement.
