The last step in the standard build sequence is putting the aft baffle on, and the area most likely to leak is the aft corner: Coincidence? What if only the outer tank rib was in place when the baffle was rivetted on? The tank could be propped up at a 45 degree angle so the sealant would settle towards the outside aft corner, and if you really tried you might be able to add more sealant to that aft corner thru the fuel filler neck. Then (with the baffle in place) you could do the inner tank rib, buck the rib reinforcements and attach angle thru the access plate. Again, you'd be able to prop up the tank with the inner aft corner down to get help from God's "G" in sealing the corner. Finally, you could inspect and re-do the sealant (if necessary) on the inner aft corner thru the access plate.
