Here it is in all its glory. All cut to size, corners rounded and glassed with 5 layers of 1708 Biax tape.
The two darker areas with the holes are where the piping goes through the top. There are four holes; Supply line and return line for the engines, Supply line for the fuel polishing system and the vent.
Close-up of the glass work at the front outboard corner. I spent a total of 5 hours glassing that day. All the outside corners where glassed one after the other so that there is a strong chemical bond at the various joints.
Here is a shot of the inside of the joint between the flange and the top.
It came out very clean here, but there are some areas where there is a lttle hanging glass work I need to grind off. Oh Boy more grinding...and this time I will be lying on my back with my head and shoulders stuck into one of the compartments of the tank. Sure glad I made those large.
