Test day nine:
Observation:
The fuel itself is still clear; however, I see a lot of small particles floating around which I believe is the RTV breaking down. I say this because the line of RTV I put at the bottom appears to be a little smaller. The "RTV on steroids" smell is still there and most definately offending my ofactory senses.
Conclusion:
I'm still reluctant to draw any at this time due to the "unknown variable". We'll let it ride a while longer.
Side note:
My girlfriend now believes I have a screw loose, but she can live with it after all those beautiful roses I bought for her. All part of my master plan: Blind them with fresh flora and fauna so they can't see your shortcomings.
Stay tuned to this same Bat-channel for possible future developments...
Good move with the roses! - Add something shiny and she may just forget about your fuel tank experiment altogether...
Would like to hear from a chemist on the thread if the fuel and RTV may have incompatible components... Your observations of the strong RTV (presumably vinegar/acetic acid) odor tells me something's goin' on...
Cheers!!
