Fuel Tank Passes Leak Test with Flying Colors

Well how about that. My first tank tested leak free! Below, I used the liquid column manometer method to measure the pressurization in the tank. I added 1 psi which is about a 27" difference in the water level (dyed green) in the looped clear tubing. Then, I carefully sprayed every rivet, screw or potential leak point with soapy water to look for leaks. NONE! Now it's on to the left tank. Like most things in life, it should be much easier the second time around.
