I use B2 at work on my helo fuel tanks. As an A&P I have used B2 on tanks both 100 and JP8, I feel it's harder to apply but provides a good seal. I always appreciate a seasoned A&P advice and knowledge. Will look into A2 more. Thank you. Do you still use top coat? I do... Since the MB requires it...- 49 replies

Wing Tanks Stripped/Resealed at Weep-No-More
philipneeper replied to AZ231's topic in General Mooney Talk
So after reading thread upon thread about fuel tanks I finally decided I will repair my own tanks. I ordered the Polygone 310 AG GEL and have limitless supply of pro seal and top coat from work so, tomorrow, Friday 09 OCT, I will attempt to start on the right tank to see how the process goes. I'm pretty excited, but nervous to. I will post pictures on the progress as it goes along. The question I have, I read the Mooney SB about tanks and how to repair/seal them, I'm thinking of using 1/4" of pro seal..... any recommendations? Also, I know to use a little paint thinner to make the pro seal easier to apply. I want to do more research on products allowed to seal tanks, only because where I work we have a sealant that seals fuel bladders and its better than pro seal I believe. inputs would be appreciated.- 49 replies

Why do you need to turn on fuel pump when switching tanks ?
philipneeper replied to joegoersch's topic in General Mooney Talk
I have an opinion on why to use a boost pump for this application. So, when you use a fuel boost pump on start up or on take off is no different than using the boost pump when you transfer tanks. The reason is partly purging air bubbles but also to have a constant state of pressure delivered to the engine driven pump. So, when you are flying along your engine driven pump is keeping a steady lets say 25 psi for math purposes. Well when you transfer takes you have a hick up in fuel flow and pressure fluctuation. Kinda like putting your hand on a running vacuum and removing. Now I'm sure that millisecond it takes to transfer tanks my not effect anything but its the redundancy, what if that moment when you switch tanks the diaphragm in your engine driven pump fails? your boost pump is designed to sustain engine performance. -
also, could be your temp sensor or instrumentation
