Brief Description: Finally! Left tank holding air pressure
On Friday the 16th, I checked to see if I could find where the miniscule leak was coming from. When I put a little soapy water on the tube supplying air through the vent line, saw some small bubbles coming from between the neoprene tube and the aluminum tube. Patched that with some duct tape, and that appeared to do the trick. Left the tank for 3 days, and it lost about 1.5" of head, that's good enough for me. Took the test off and put the tank on the left wing in the stand, and it fit perfectly.
Today, I put my brother Dan to work drilling the rivets out of the filler neck and the forward attach bracket for re-use on the new right tank that I will be building.
The test connection sealed with duct tape.
