Hey "hands on guys",

Anyone have a good method o breaking loose the "fuel

tank filler sleeve nut. I have soaked it pent. oil

for weeks. This 1936-1939 LZ, looks similar to '37

Ford. It has a fine thread and a ring of holes for a

spanner wrench; similer to chuck wrench for a Bridge-

port lathe. It's my spare tank , and restoring it

this winter. All other hard ware is off. It's a good

tank; just needs cleaning , coating,and painting.

How about warming up with a high wattage hairdryer? I find heat helps a lot of rusty threads give up. DO NOT use an open flame!!

Thanks Guys,

Thanks for the help on my gas tank

problem. I have used "Kroil" in the past, but have run

out. Isn't this product only available thru mail order?

The hair dryer is a good idea, I have a hot air gun I

use for heat shrink tubing; i'll try that. Yes !!!

never use open flame ! Even if the fumes are gone, all

of the joints are soldered and the tank is "tern"(sic)

coated. No use getting into more trouble.
