08 Leak testing the new tank prior to closure.

A full 18 gallons of AvGas were put in the tank to check for leaks. This was done 1 gallon at a time followed by a thorough check for leaks. One loose fitting was identified and tightened. By the time 18 gallons were in there were no leaks observed.

Port fuel outlet . There was one small leak on the outlet to the fuel selector. I had wrenches ready, just in case, so it was easy to tighten that last bit to end the leak.
