Ronnie Posted Monday at 08:51 PM Report Posted Monday at 08:51 PM Good afternoon, My name is Ron Stowell of Granbury Aviation Services in Granbury Texas KDGJ. Has anyone had a recent fuel tank real seal done? If so can you provide a real estimate on labor time for it?
Steve Dawson Posted Monday at 11:10 PM Report Posted Monday at 11:10 PM I had the tanks on my 1990 Bravo done by Edison at Wet Wingologist in Ft Lauderdale exec. three years ago and he did a great job. Cost was under $20K and that included extra work in the installation of new drains and removing and bucking new rivets. And he was on time. I've also heard very good things about Paul at Weep no More

Steve Dawson Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM My mistake, I believe the total price was $17K
kortopates Posted 15 hours ago Report Posted 15 hours ago Both Paul at Weep no More and Edison at Wet Wingologist do excellent work. Paul is generally booked out well over a year while Edison can generally get you in within 3 months but is more expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
PeteMc Posted 15 hours ago Report Posted 15 hours ago Are they still doing tank repairs at Willmar Air Service (BDH)? I had my tanks done there when they were in the process of the guy that did the tanks breaking off from the new guy running the shop. The original guy that had been doing the tanks for years did an excellent job, but I'd never let the guy taking over the shop touch my plane again. If they're still in business, I'm guessing the tank repairs have a new name.
