We're in Michigan are you located?
I noticed your other posts on this subject and find this disturbing. Did you visually check ALL of the welded joints? What did they look like? A good visual check will often point out a potential leak location. Second, when you have a question you can pressurize the tank with a maximum of 3-5 psi air. Then with a soapy water solution brush over all the seams, look for minute air bubbles.I am also building about she same thing I am curious how your seat base fits in the frame,and I would test your fuel tanks with av gas for about a week the blue die finds the leaks I have now gotten three leaking tanks and one non leaky

I am at KBIV. It would be fun to fly up and see your progress.
All the leaks are in welds most are in the spot welds holding the baffling in the tank one one tank it is also on the seams on the side I did a pressure test to two pounds but it was when I added Av gas in that I found the leaksI noticed your other posts on this subject and find this disturbing.

Frankly I'm shocked that you have three bad tanks from Javron. Where were your leaks located? In a weld or a threaded joint?
Great picture. Looks like you are having fun. Hang on to that drill. I have one just like it but still has the blue paint on it. Made in Germany and distributed by Snap on. Can't find them anymore and it is my favorite drill.Way two much fun
