Thanks Syd. I meant to say 5 gallon. I was thinking of my wing tanks that are 8 gallon and labeled 9 gallon... another story.

It is made of stainless steel. Syd On Mar 23, 2009, at 3:58 PM, Bob Swinney wrote: 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.... ?
