Jim;  In Tony Bengelis book he says to test the fuel tank with  2 lbs. of
air pressure and soap suds.  Is this about right? seems like it could be a
lot strain on the tank.  JohnD

Two pounds will stretch it out pretty good.  I turn the air regulater down
all the way, then with a open hose, turn the regulater in so a small amount
of air is coming out. Then hold your finger over the end of the hose so you
can feel the pressure. Some regulaters will not show pressure untill you
have more than 2 pounds. To much to fast could split the seams. Steve said
he would put enough in to round out all the ripples and buckles. Two pounds
might be about right.  Jim
