If one day you find your Europa with fuel leaking out as I did don't assume it's
the fuel tank like I did. 
I just completed a air pressure test at 2psi like the service bulletin suggests.
At first pressure came down rather fast but a soap test revealed the capacitance
gauge unit bolts were loose, tighten em up then it was not leaking at all.

So what caused the tank to empty out almost completely?  Not sure yet maybe the
sight gauge tube?  I'm still working on that but the tank holds pressure.

 I was so certain it was a tank crack I installed the aluminum oval lid as per
Dave Disney/Miles McCullum's Mod 8, it is great to have access to inspect the
tank so no regrets. One less obstacle.
