Hey guys thanks for the ideas.I think the fuel tanks in the wings is the best option but cleaning up under the dash helped and sealing at the top of the tank might make it better.
Next thing looking for a sticky backed material that looks like the wonderful finish you get on those dashes, Ya know the one Black bit bumpy to the touch just to make her look good till fall and the new SKYVEIW system can be installed
And Bob thank for letting me know about the front steering arm one…

My old 601 has the tank up under the dash and the plane always has that smell of fuel now there hasn't ever been aleak however keeping the canopy closed for a couple of weeks makes it pretty bad. Any one got a fix I know how to get rid of the smell but is there a way to seal up the tank area on the old ones so it won't come back
also anyone converted the older plane to wing tank
