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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store>
