October 21st, we sealed the gastank. This has got to be one part that Vans sends as a completed unit. It took the both of us about 4 hours to do and then we let it set overnight. Today, we did the pressure test, and it failed. We saw it was leaking around the NEW visual gas tank fuel gauge. George and I both think it was because Vans tells you to only snug the screws securing the glass. They should have had us tighten the screws more. We were thinking about drilling out the 82 rivets holding the top, but we decided to open the round cover on the side and attempt to simply remove the leaking part from the arge flot hold.
Tomorrow, we'll reseal the components and reassemble the tank.
