Re: How to test fuel bottle for leaks

Very wise decision to test before final placement. I have learned that lesson the hard way. I simply fill my tank with fuel (using a fuel pump) before putting it in the plane and observe what happens. Sure glad I did this a few weeks ago re. the plane I am putting together at the moment. The rubber stopper was defective and the tank was clearly leaking. Replaced the stopper and tested again - no problem. Cheers
