I still think the trike looks better on the ground, but I may be biased : )

One cusses for several hours and hopes the neighbors do not complain about
the foul language. This was where I decided that the factory considered the
Tri-Gear to be the ugly step child in the family.

I would be interested to know how you take the tank out . Do you cut the
top of the cockpit module out? And if so what is the recommendation for
putting the bit you cut out back on?
Will
PS I am putting in my tri gear main sockets without the top on. How on
earth did anyone put them in with the top on??!

I I remember correctly a few years back there was a change in the tanks
---From the factory, basically flourinating them to avoid these problems. Are
these problematic tanks older pre-flourinated ones? Or are the new tanks
also chemically inadequate? I'd hate to hear how much $$ a custom welded
Alum would cost (let alone all the probs associated with weld quality
leaks).

While Baby Blue is in for repairs and installation of her new altitude
hold, I had occasion to look over the tank area, thoroughly. Sure enough, I
found evidence of contact between the center push rod and the tank, right
where you gents are point to. No real damage to the tank, but it was
definitely touching. I applied a bit of Velcro loop to the tank area to
guard against against further wear. I plan to either reposition the push
rod, or extend the brace to push the tank back into it's intended shape.
I'll let everyone know what I come up with and supply a pic or two...
BTW, my new exhaust down pipe, just arrived. I'll install it tomorrow.
Many thanks to John and Rodger for the prompt shipping. I ordered it one
week ago, yesterday...
Jeff,

Following Arnold's picture I thought I would take one of my tank and the
bulge therein. Very similar but without a leak so far (!!??) as I know.
