Abstract
A spray nozzle extension is affixed to the output of a conventional spray gun apparatus to allow an operator to spray a polymeric elastomer into enclosed spaces of an integral fuel tank cavity such as to form an in situ tank within the cavity. The nozzle tip is extended from the spray gun by a flexible hose and the complete unit includes variously arranged in-line filter and swivel connectors to achieve dispersion of lumps in the spray material and axial, yaw, and pitch rotation of the nozzle tip respectively.
