s.e.lucas Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 It seems to have changed shape a bit. Is this a common thing? Is there some way to make it back to normal shape or should I look for another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Tanks sometimes change shape when they have a close encounter with a rock or the ground. As long as it is not leaking and all the attachment points are still intact, I would not worry about it unless the new shape bothers you esthectically.

tony27 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Common if you've used petrol containing ethanol, generally they get longer & hard to fit between the frame rails. I'm pretty sure copemech ran straight avgas for a while & his returned to size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Story of irony. My Serrow has been sitting through the hot summer months so I drained the car gas and replaced it before it spoiled. Put a gallon and some of avgas in for storage because it keeps better. Seals in petcock shrunk after the car gas exposure and when I came back a week later there was fuel staining on the petcock and tank bone dry. Got it started and went to the local station for car gas. Has not leaked a drop! Feck me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
