I bought some spraycan outdoor polyurathane to fuelproof the inside the fuel tank compartment of 2 of my planes. Both were relatively inaccessible, but if you use the tube (like what comes with cans of WD-40) you can get coverage on everything.

How's this for coincidence? I went to the field last weekend, fueled my Avistar and discovered that the rubber stopper had loosened so much it didn't require a tug to pull out. Anycase, the entire compartment was soaked. BTW, my name is also Ted.

I held the plane nose down to get the rest of the fuel out and still flew it 4 times without any issue.
