Tank Reseal - M20F

[gwav8or]

I’m most likely going to make an offer on an F next week. Gorgeous bird. But the tanks haven’t been resealed in quite a long time if ever. They have been patched. If they were to require a full reseal, who in Texas or Arkansas would you recommend? How much would it cost?

Houston Tank Specialist.

They've done a lot of Mooneys - $8-10k depending on what needs to be done or found during reseal. Mooney Summit Sponsors I believe...

ck out theMooneyflyer.com for their news letters...

+1 for Houston Tank. Carl did mine last year.

A good pre-purchase inspection should give you insight to the tank’s sealant health…

Carl Sharon is around here somewhere… @HoustonTankSpecialistsLLC (This may be a dead link)

Next on the nearest list is Florida… So find Carl… I got to discuss tank sealing with him at Mooney Summit a while ago…

Does it leak or are you just anticipating that it might?

Don't be to rash, they might not leak.  could last 1 day or 20 years

Owner says it’s showing signs of seepage. Not really a leak, he says.

Mine's been "seeping" since I've owned it.    Sometimes it's not a big issue or can be fixed with a patch.

Too often new owners jump into a reseal when it’s not necessary. My last tank seal went 45 years. Small staining isn’t concerning. The manual shows you how to measure staining

This is what I’m hoping.

Following this thread. I bought a 1977 M20C last year. It's currently in annual, and the dreaded tank leakage might be starting to present itself.

If I get to buy the F I’m looking at, I’ll certainly be posting many pictures.

I should be getting to check it out next week. Hopefully I can make a deal. It’s a sweet looking bird in the pics I’ve seen.

What year?   I had to permatex #3 some screws this year.   Also I thought the right one was leaking, but I replaced the outer sender seal and nope all good.
