Greetings From South Carolina Cool Pool Wayne :-)

I bought a used Hangar 9 Alpha 40 and noticed that one forward side of the wood
near the muffler is starting to get fuel soaked.

1st thing to do is remove the covering around this area and use K9 spot remover
something that removes moisture, let this dry & remove the moisture.

What is the best way to seal the wood for the whole engine bay area including the fire wall?

I use epoxie thinned with a little alcohol to coat the entire engine area to make it
fuel proof.

We want to be careful about the amount of weight that we add because of balance in
this area.
