1977 337 G fuel tanks

[Guy Paris]

HI GUY'S,

MY 337 IS IN FOR ANNUAL AND THE CUSHIONING MATERIAL

(LOOKS LIKE CORK) UNDER THE FUEL TANKS APPEARS TO HAVE

MOVED SOME AND MAY BE METAL TO METAL, (BOTTOM OF TANKS

ON THE STRINGER). HAS ANY ONE SEEN THIS AND HAD TO

REPLACE THE CUSHIONING MATERIAL? IF SO WHAT WAS USED OR

IS CESSNA'S PRODUCT THE MATERIAL TO USE OR????

I have always used cork gasket material from the local auto parts store. Bought a roll and cut into strips with a razor blade, glued on with contact cement.

This is very common....we use a heavy rubberized Fuel proof material....the trick is to let the glue dry before replacing the tanks...unlike the factory...also while in there replace all the interconnecting hoses.

As you are all probably used to, most part numbers in our parts manuals are seriously outdated. However, I called Spitfire Aviation, and they had a cross reference number for another form of tape. It wasn't cheap. I know, hard to believe! But it is out there.

FWIW
