For what it is worth, most of today's RV builders DON'T use slosh in their
tanks. In the old days, some builders were having problems with slosh coming loose. Imagine having to open up a tank to remove mis-applied slosh (or risk clogging your fuel filter with the stuff when it flakes off). Some builders who didn't slosh had a leak or two, but it was easier dealing with the leaks than with slosh that wasn't staying attached... In the end, if you do everything right, you don't need slosh. Beyond that, if you slosh *properly* the slosh won't come loose. It comes down to following proper fitting, cleaning, and prep procedures all the way through the process - slosh or not. KB |

To All:
Someone wrote to ask where they might find 'dimensioned drawings' as mentioned in the post on fuel tanks. Welll... they aren't all that good but you'll find simple drawings for most of the stuff I've written about in the FILES archives of the Fly5kfiles mailing list over on Yahoo, or one of the other mailing lists (FlyVW, etc). The drawings are in DeltaCAD format. There's a link to the free DeltaCAD reader software. The drawings are usually supported by a .txt file, an article or a posted message but the linkage isn't always given. These drawings are meant mostly for scratch builders trying to fly on the cheap. If that's you, you probably already know about the drawings and their related files. If any of this is news to you, you might want to scan the archives of groups devoted to flying on the cheap and lo-buck building. -R.S.Hoover |
