(no title)
Time to test the fuel tanks. Since the plastic tube is still hooked up to the left tank, I decided to test that one first. This tank had the one leaky rivet near the fuel filler that I tried to fix. I set up the tank, and sure enough the level started going down very gradually. I used the soap bubbles to find out that it was leaking around the fuel cap and unfortunately around that same darn rivet. Bummer. The worst thing about that leaky rivet is that I can’t make sure the rest of the tank has no leaks. But then an idea hit me. I put some duct tape over the problem rivet, put more fuel lube around the fuel cap, and pumped it up again. We’ll see if everything except that stupid rivet is holding air.
