hey all, removed the fuel tank to put in some new rear shockies "GAS ADJUST" while the tank is out i thought of checking for leaks as i have noticed a fuel smell in my boot .. the breather wasn't directed out of the car probably the go but is there a easy way to check for leaks... i have the tank exterior pretty clean and have been sloshing a small amount of fuel around in the tank to see of any seaps out so i can locate.... cheers any suggestions |

If it has a leak, the tank will be damp with fuel under the bottom, where they rust out. Putting any more than a couple of psi air pressure in there is dangerous. The tank ain't built like an air receiver, so beware...
