Guys,
 
This is kinda off topic but applies to Firebirds as well.  I removed  the gas 
tank from my "soon to be GTO wagon".  It had a pinhole leak.   It's been 
welded up, the inside has been coated with gas tank sealer and the  outside has 
been patched over with POR15 epoxy putty.  I've got to believe  its solid, but 
I 
would like to do a pressure test to make sure that all is well  (including 
the fuel sending unit) which has also been rebuilt.   My  question is how much 
air pressure would be appropriate to test the tank.  I  want to make sure it's 
solid, but I also don't want to damage it from too much  pressure.  I plan to 
install a nice tight gas cap and then pressurize  through the fuel line tubes 
with a pressure gauge in the line.  I'll use a  ball valve to shut off the air 
supply and then see if it holds the  pressure.
 
Thanks
Old Joe
