vic008 17 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just been making insection ports in the ss diesel tank.Is there a way of pressure testing for leaks.(No 230volts.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cantab 341 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Very Very Carefully, you wont need much pressure to distort a tank. Bubble test using a dinghy pump and a spray bottle would probably do. Unfortunately one of the best fluids for finding a leak is Diesel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvarkash10 1,057 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Drill to put a tyre valve fitting into it and use a bike tyre pump to put a couple of psi of pressure in, or until one flat panel goes "poink!". Spray test as above, or leave overnight and check its held pressure in the morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
