    Pressure Test fuel tanks

    How is the best way to pressure test a fuel tank to see if it is leaking? I have 3 openings on the tank besides the sender, 1 is the fuel inlet, 1 is the fuel pickup and the last is a vent tube. How much pressure? How long should it hold that pressure?

    Thanks

    It wont take much pressure id say 10 psi or less. Id plug the fill and vent and use the inlet and a rubber tip blower with a regulator.
    Go to the dollar store and buy a big thing of bubbles like the kids use to blow bubbles with.....thats some good stuff at finding leaks.
