Screw/seal assemblies are used to attach the fuel transmitter to the aircraft's fuel tanks. McFarlane screw-seal assemblies have been engineered to eliminate chronic problems associated with fuel quantity transmitter hardware. Hex drive screws made from stainless steel eliminate the corrosion process. The hex drive promotes ease of installation and eliminates the necessity for destructive down pressure during transmitter screw removal and installation. This down pressure can bend or distort the soft aluminum fuel tank.
The stainless steel/Viton seal used on the hex drive provides a positive seal around the screw - No more leaks or seeps! The seals replace Cessna P/N S350 cork seals that degrade with time and cause leakage.
