I'm to the point that I need to test my QB Fuel tanks so I can put them back on the wings. Even though they should of been tested in the Philippines it's suggested (and I agree) that I need to test them as well. I'm going to use the 'Fuel Tank Pressure Testing' kit provided by Vans. Just have a fuel questions;
I'm using regular float fuel senders and installed those per the plans and used pro-seal for final attachment. I literally did that at lunch today so how much time do I need to wait for it to cure before pressure testing?
Below is a picture of the Kit-
From what I understand you put a balloon on the fuel vent and the inflation stem on the bottom. How do I use the Blue cap and allen insert deal to close off the VA-141 flange hole? Am I supposed to connect something to that first?
Lastly do I use a hand tire pump to pressurize or can I use a compressor on a very low PSI setting and just watch the balloon so it doesn't over inflate?
Once I get this figured out I can do the soapy water spray and find any leaks... thanks!
