I was really excited when my tanks were pressured up for leak checks and with Snoop and soapy water no bubbles were observed at any seam or rivet. But I can't get the satisfaction of seeing the balloon stay up for a day or two like some people do. The reason is that I can't find a single way to seal up the fuel filler.
Tried two kinds of duct tape, a packing tape, glove over the cap, saran wrap over the cap and a baggie over the wrap. Three layers of duct tape each layer 90 degrees to the first gives the best performance.
BUT, has anyone made the RV-14 caps truly leak free for the test?
I suppose with good pressure in the tanks and no leaks away from the fuel cap I should just build on.... but it would be nice to get that 100% satisfaction!
