Re: Header tank replacement
Bruce,
I started with the poly tank, hated it, bought an aluminum one from John M....love the aluminum header tank.
I have an early series 7.....the aluminum tank was a direct replacement except that it doesn't stink or leak:D.....There is always a little diddling with the cushion clamps but the fitings, fuel lines, vent and sump drain all line up with placement of the the original poly tank.
Very happy with the aluminum header tank and would never, ever consider the poly tank now.
Sincerely,

Re: Header tank replacement
This sounds like a good idea though I solved most of my leak issues it still weeps ever so slightly.
Re: Header tank replacement
Hey Bruce -
I've got the exact same issue, no leaks, no blue stains, but just the persistent
smell. Very annoying.

Re: Header tank replacement
I use the blue lined fuel hose and no smell in the cabin.
Re: Header tank replacement
I was wondering about the blue line..thanks Finn
Re: Header tank replacement
Chase,
The stuff I used is not the semi transparent blue line but black fuel hose that has a blue lining (in case there was any confusion), think it is a Goodyear product. I get no fuel odors at all in my cockpit.
Re: Header tank replacement
