Fuel Inlet Screen

[Mkruger2021]

Hello, Anyone have spare inlet screens? I opened the tank the other day to work on sealing the tanks with some noticable staining and fuel loss near the fuel transmitter. I happen to notice that the previous tank seal job got sealant on the screen. Im luck to have notice this as this baby must of been working overtime. Does anyone have a solution to the problem? I tried to clean it...A real pain!

Loewen Mooney Salvage is pretty close to you.

Alternatively (if you haven’t tried it), one of the poly-something sealant softeners that the tank reseal people use might be successful to remove the sealant.

Good luck…

Soak it in a container (sealed) of MEK, should come right off after an overnight soaking

Heat it up in a propane torch and burn the sealant off it.

Mine had slosh coat from a previous owner.  MEK and a wire brush will work.

Spare pre-flown Mooney parts….  Dial @Alan Fox…

+1 for solvent cleaning, and flame cleaning…

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic…
