  I was concerned about the same thing and to ease my mind I used the balloon
  test with Helium as that is a smaller molecule than air and certainly water.

      I'm getting ready to undercoat my wings and thought it might be a
  good idea to check for potential fuel leaks before painting.
   ...snip...
  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.
