Default Fuel Tanks - No Leaks

Finally got my fuel tanks constructed and after sitting for a couple of weeks, tested them for leaks.
Have a pretty big relief - NO LEAKS!!! Yipeeeeeee.
During construction I filled the tanks before installing rear baffles and did find two very small leaks in a couple of rivets. Replaced and resealed. No more problems.
Can check a couple of pics here. Just scroll to bottom.
