Good idea to put a small party balloon over a vent line while
pressure testing a tank, that way the balloon provides an instant
and reliable visual indicator of increased pressure, and it is
always below 2 psi...

5 to 7 psi translates to a minimum of 720lb/sq ft on every
square foot of
the wing skin. That is a lot of force trying to burst the tank.
I would
say that pressure is an accident waiting to happen. Also what
other joints
have you strained that you cannot see?
