Hi Guys,
I am going to finish sealing both my tanks within the next day or two and have some queries on leak testing them. I was hoping someone that has done it before me can give me some assistance.
1) How soon after I sealed it can I test them? This pro-seal can take a while to set, and I don?t want to test to soon, whatever too soon is.
2) I?ve got the Van?s leak test kit, they suggest 2 methods, which is better pipe or balloon test and why?
3) With both tests they suggest testing with soapy water, this is the first time I read about this, normally I only read the guys just let is stand overnight and see if they get a deviation in pressure reading. Why, isn?t the overnight test a better test?
Thanks in advance?
Kind Regards
Rudi
