Randy:

Presumably with a welded tank one can do an underwater pressure test ( in a
pool) so that one can see the bubbles and then mark them with a sharpie and
re-weld?

I will be doing so before final installation

Mine is a nose tank in a Falconar F-12 and it also sits behind the panel.
But I am hesitant to fill mi tank with some goo that may come off in time
and clog my fuel supply.
