Need to fix/replace wing tank in a LE

[dave ingalls]

I just bought a LE with a fiberglass wing tank, that was ruined by gasohol. I planned to split the tank; clean out the gunk; coat with a alcohol resistant paint; and reassemble with epoxy and FG tape. On researching the coatings available; I find a lot of conflicting info.  My assessment of all this info; is that none of the available coatings are reliable.   Does anyone know of a readymade tank that will fit in the LE airfoil?

I don't know how the Team tank sump are is made but the tank I built is on my website at http://angoraaffaire.com/leu/ and I embedded a .125 alum plate in the bottom of the sump - drilled/tapped a hole that takes one of these drains threaded in from the outside - easy to inspect too: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fingstrainers.php?clickkey=18612

Yeah, Steve. I tried to build a glass tank, but couldn't get all the leaks stopped.......
