Thanks for all the replies re tank leaks. Its looking like the filler cap
leaks minutely, but I am finding it quite hard to seal it completely so I
can be sure there is no other location.
Steve.

Take the cap apart and clean all o-rings and surfaces then reassemble with a
liberal coating of silicon grease. (Dow Corning 111). They will seal
perfectly.
While you have them apart drive out the roll pin and replace it with
a piece of 1/16 rod. 1/16 SS welding rod works well, or buy a couple of 1/16
drills and cut off the shank to use for this. Easy to do now, hard to do
later when it breaks at a less opportune time.

Steve: I put a piece of Saran Wrap about 6 inches square over the inside
surface of mine, inserted the cap with the excess wrap coming out between
the main o-ring seal and the tank neck. Leave the wrap somewhat loose so
that the rough edges of the cap center bolt don't cut it and try to spread
the wrap evenly under the o-ring so that it seals well here.
I soaped it with pressure on it and it held well. I did not put more that
about 20 inches of water pressure on my tanks. I used a water manometer so
that if I got carried away with the pressure it would blow the water out and
relieve the pressure. I found that just watching the pressure to determine
leak rate was very temperature sensitive so I soaped all joints and rivets.
