Hi! Roland,
Just picked up your leaking tank Messages from my Junk List and tried to
transfer them to my Inbox to send you my commiserations, but they have
vanished into cyber space!
Sad to hear your message about your Europa tank.
If your trailer was outside in the current heat and not white reflective the
temps inside would be baking ? Also was the vent clear to allow expansion
inside the closed off fuel system ? sometimes with my aluminium long range
system I have been known to leave its own vent closed and it contains a very
high pressure due to weather expansion, so it is a factor , but alas too
late for your incident any way. Whilst it is a major job to replace the
existing tank it has been done in the past so I wouldn't jump into the
aluminium route before major considerations of availability etc. One thing
is certain and that is provided it is all done in a very controlled way the
resin issue will cure quickly but you must do it to the book since the cross
member is a major structural item .
Sad to hear your message though ......."best made plans of mice and men"
comes to mind.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG
PS look on the bright side .........my "tank" (bladder) has cancer back
after 5 years and I go for what I hope is a scrape out on 23rd August !
Best wishes.
