Title pretty much says it all. I need to test my fuel tank fittings with the tank removed and don't want to keep adding/draining gasoline (discovered leak after 1st install... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). Can anyone recommend a liquid which I can substitute for testing? Tank will be completely drained/dried before re-installation.

How about just compressed air. LOW PRESSURE would tell if you have a good seal. Finding the leak might be a little difficult if you dont have a big tank attached.

Finding the leak might be a little difficult if you dont have a big tank attached. I know where it's leaking from (feed & return tubes). Just need to know if I've repaired the leak before re-installing for the second time.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
