Left ER Tank Access Panel

After voting early this morning, I got to work closing up the ER tank.

But first, I wanted to snag a shot of my baffle sealant beads. They look reasonable to me.

Good beads on the left and right sides of the baffle.

Next, let’s get the access panel in…

Good amount of sealant here. 

After getting my access panel in (with the stainless steel cap screws I bought from McMaster Carr), I installed the float sender and verified continuity from the center post to some tank structure).

You can just barely see the red lead in one of the z-brackets on the right side of the picture.

After that, I went ahead and riveted on my ER Tank nutplate flange for the inter-tank access panel. 14 rivets on the top side, and 13 on the bottom.

Here’s the flange installed.

1.0 hours. 27 rivets on the flange. This officially closes the left ER tank. Time to wait 3 days and then pressure test it.
