Bob,
Your soldered center fuel tank is actually 5 gallons, not 8. It is
made of stainless steel.

FYI... I detected a leak and removed my center fuel tank. I removed
the carb heat, mixture and throttle cables as well as my radios.
REMOVAL OF THE CONTROL COLUMN WAS NOT REQUIRED. I find I have a
completely soldered tank (I was told it is a 8 gal tank) that is not
magnetic. I am going to try and have the tank repaired locally
(soldered). The tank was a snug fit and any bigger tank would
require some (lots) modification to the structure, thus the decision
to repair. 415C, ser. no. 613 (although many mods and new parts
since new) Comments....?
