I have an idea I would like to bounce off others here.
Could one pressure test the tank skins and end rib integrity before closing out the rear bulkhead? It seems to me that one could partially submerge the tank, nose up, in water to about 2 ft. This would create approx .8 psi inside the tank. With this pressure, one could run a soap bubble test and find any leaks prior to sealing the bulkhead. Any leaks thus found could be easily fixed.
Just a thought. Please let me know if this makes sense. I have never tried it.
Cheers,
RL
