Those of you who have gone through the drill how did you do it and what did you use for fuel? I'm not so interested in how to plug leaks as I am in finding them. I've done the balloon test and maintained pressure well for 24 hours. I'm reluctant to just fill up with fuel only to find I have a leak and have to deal with surface contamination in the fiberglass. Using water could be a potential approach assuming I can dry things out later on. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Regards,=20 Pete Field
