Charlie,
The header tank removal process is outlined in the Ercoupe Service
Memo #33. The removal of the tank and, I am sure reinstallation,
is
not an easy task, however, keep telling yourself someone
else has
done it and I am as good as a mechanic as they are and it will soon
be
out. The installation of mine hasn't been started yet. If your
tank is
riveted, drill out the back side and take a look to see what you
have.
I can refer you to some articles on repairs that I am currently involved
in.
If it looks too tough or is a welded tank check with John Wright Jr.
I
strongly disagree with any "sloshing" attempt to repair - the removal
and installation is too labor intensive to short cut on tank repair.
John
