Hello everyone,
I have decided to build a fiberglass diesel fuel tank for my Ka 8 motorglider conversion.
I've contacted my local composite supplier and the contact person told me that I need two different resin (epoxy) and hardener, one pair for the shell and one, called ''chemical-proof'', to coat the inside after the shell has cured.
Since I didn't find any mention of two separate resin and hardener being used in Sportplane Construction Techniques or Understanding Aircraft Composite Construction, I start having doubts about what type of resin and hardener to use for a fuel tank.
What building technique would you recommend me to use? Do I have to coat the inside?
Your comments are as always very appreciated.
