Removed fuel tanks from their respective wing bays.
Tapped left tank.
Applied Permatex 85420 to internal threads of tank and external threads of fuel fitting.
Installed one finger screen and all other fuel fittings in wing tank.
Need to order another finger screen, one was crushed with pliers as it was being inserted into tank for dry fitting.
I would like to have the finger screen about 2 or 3 threads deeper. I am seeking the advice of the kitfox community to see if there are other ways to get the finger screen in deeper without using excessive torque.
I have been advised by a builder that I should try a Skip Tooth Tap. My current tap will cut to a certain point and stop.
