Fuel tank sealing

[Pictreed]

I've decided to reseal the tanks on my '65 E.  I'm not interested in bladders. 

Has anyone used Houston Tank Specialist?  They are a lot closer than Willmar.

That is Carl Sharon. I have seen his work, and he is meticulous. He has been doing tanks for over a year.

Full disclosure; he is my friend.

Carl helped me get my tanks finished.  He took time out of his busy schedule to personally talk to me several times and let me buy materials from him to finish the job.  If he treats his customers half as good as he treats people that cold called him for information and help, you will be in good hands.  Highly recommend him.

Location was a big reason I went with bladders.  Getting up to Willmar in the winter as a VFR pilot didn't seem easy.  I think there was another thread on here about them.  May be worth a check.

Wow, I just learned his wife passed away this week.  Did I hear that right?

I have talked to him and he's always been helpful.

She died this morning.

Wow, Im sorry to hear that. Carl sealed the tanks on My Ovation. He's a good guy and his work was good as well. I would not hesitate to use him again in another Mooney. I have nothing against the other guys but the travel time and expense made the decision for me. Plus if  warranty work is needed you might have to go back. I have photos of the work on my plane if you want to see them...

Please post the pictures - would like to see them.

I used him in February to reseal my J.  I have one rivet forward of the wing walk that seeps a tiny bit when the tanks are full.  Mr. Sharon assured me it would be taken care of, and I'm certain it will be. It's just a matter of scheduling at this point. I'm satisfied.  Location was a very big factor for me.  I'm barely an hour away.  Way more convenient than the other shops.  I would recommend without hesitation.
