Brief Description:  Fuel tank leak test-1 Left tank

1. Attached the ballon to the fuel fitting on baffle. Clsed off the vent line. Inserted the air stem in the fuel drain hole and then added air to tank untill balloon inflated. Traced the outline of a quarter on the ballon as well as another balloon to be used as a controll. Controll should match the tank balloon with changes in pressure and temperature IF the tank is leak free.

2. First attempt unsuccessful. Leak was found with soapy water from the balloon attachment. Tightened up with another cable tie and after 2.5 hours no leaks detected. Will leave alone for a couple days and see what happens.
