Fuel tank pressure test
Yes you use a regulator on the air line or use a hand pump or be quick
on the disconnect.
Your air compressor may have 150 lbs in the tank but you can still
manage
t lye.

One thing I didn't see mentioned here is to use extremely LOW pressure. One to
two pounds through a regulator. Don't think you will be fast enough to just
shoot a little in there. Otherwise your square tank will become streamlined. As
usual don't ask how I know this.

To pressure test a tank you use a pressure gauge connected to a T fitting
screwed in to the tank.
It's worth reminding folks that we are talking very low pressure here,
in the order of one PSI or less, if you don't want to blow up your tank.
I've checked my lungs with a high resolution pressure gauge, and I can
bearly blow 1 psi, for an instant. The balloon method prevents
disasters that

Close the valve and make sure the pressure doesnt drop after
It's much easier to patch a leak after an air test then it is a water test.?

Don't bother with a water test. You can have pin holes that will not
pass water but will allow the entire take of gasoline to drain over t

Be aware the balloon will expand and contract with any change in tank
temperature. Take your measurements when the temperature is the same on 2
consecutive days.
