Prior to Akzo priming the outside of the Left Fuel Tank, I wanted to test fit the Tank to the Wing in case it need to be sanding. Shown below is the Fuel Tank temporarily attached to the Left Wing. The fit was perfect....almost!
The only area on the Left Fuel Tank needing a slight “adjustment” is located in the white circle in the picture below. This is the area where the Fuel Tank Skin and the Inboard/Outboard Bottom Wing Skins meet. This area had to be slightly sanded in order to sit flush against the Main Wing Spar and NOT on top of the Bottom Skins.
Once I completed the final test fit, it’s now time to Akzo prime the outside of the tank. The four pictures below show the Tank taped off and ready to be primed.
