    Re: Rubbing fuel tank

    I think as mentioned already glue fuel pipe to the frame or again some sticky felt, the felt might be the neater solution though.

      Or have another go at rounding off the edges of the frame - they look pretty harsh to me.

        I sanded the inside a lot more than the outside, yes the pic does look quite harsh but wouldnt hurt to sand them some more.

          Morning Tony.

          on a serious note take a look at the Mikdao rubber U trim that fits the frames where the batteries go.

          Very thin and would do that job a treat.

              The thinner the better, the avant stuff was just too thick

                        You could possibly try a bead of high modulus silicone

                          I think the rubbing to a good round edge is the best answer. It stops things getting messy and keeps it as it was intended. Catherine tank be popped out easy or not?
                          i have a full set of mini files if you want to rub it to round.
