I pulled my ERA tanks this weekend and have a winner. Each was leaking as I suspected at the top flange seal. Truly a masochistic effort to extract these. I now am looking for recc from other what they are using (gasket material and sealant) for gas contact seals.
My tanks had rubber seals with no sealant. The inlet and outlet fittings on the flanges were installed with Permatex aero sealant (the nasty stuff in a can which we all used to use for 911 cases). This sealant is okay with oil but only fair with gas contact in my experience.
Thanks for any upto date reccs
