Espar question real quick
To drill a hole in your tank, did they have to drain it, remove it and clean it!?
I'm at a shop that could do it but they are saying I need to come back with near empty tanks. TIA |

they could drill the tank closer to the fill hole, and stick their arm inside, hold a rag where they drill to catch the shavings.

I'm thinking draining and removing the tank, then washing it, that has to be a lot of extra labor. |
yeah, i just measured mine,
three inches, and that would need a small arm, my hand fits in snugly. Me and my Dad had ours drilled for APU's bad part was i was'nt there when they drilled i do have some bits of shavings in my tank, but not very much. but to think about the drilling, normally most of the aluminum is pulled up while drilling and the fuel is not sucked at the bottom of tank there is a tube that goes down thats a few inchs from the bottom. I called tony at black rock apu and he said 99% of the shavings come back up with the drill bit. |

I guess I'm done here, it's a company shop. Low rates, but what good is that if you have to go someplace else anyway. They started taking apart my door to replace the hinge and got to a place where they couldn't get a part off. The solution? Put it back together like it was before and charge me for their efforts. I guess I'll just try to find someone else to do it. Thanks, fdmax |
If you're really concerned, tell them to put grease on the drill bit. This will suck up the shavings.
It's no big deal anyways. |

Whoa, glad you showed up, Allan5oh. I figured if anyone would know, you or maybe Splitshifter would.
I'll pause right now, perhaps you will comment on Mike's experience. Either way, I don't like paying for mechanics' training. I know they have to learn, I just don't like paying for it. I'll try to find someone who knows...I doubt all the guys on this board who had them installed had their fuel tanks removed. |
