I'll be installing the aft baffle on my left tank tonight and have begun thinking about pressure testing in a few days, post-cure.
Plans page 18-09 Step 1 & Figure 2 specify the use of a rubber hose and Fuel Air Tank Valve [Sic] to pressure test the tank. Also referenced is the Fuel Tank Test Kit and its alternate parts & included instructions. Hence my confusion.
If the plans are correct, how exactly does one apply air pressure to the valve on the rubber hose?
If the test kit parts and instructions are correct (they appear to be QB-specific and not directly relevant to my standard kit), then what of 18-09?
Perhaps we're meant to follow the plans, but utilize the test kit's instructions only regarding the spraying of soapy water on the pressurized tank...
I'm sufficiently nervous about my first tank turning out well without any plans-related agita.
