I'm working on my -7 fuel tanks and I'd welcome opinions on an idea: Is there any reason not to test the tank for leaks before installing the rear baffle? It seams to me that once I get everything except the baffle done I could install the access plate, plug the fuel and vent outlets, set the tank in the cradle and fill it with water to see if any of the rivets or the end ribs leaked at all.
Seems like a good idea because if I do have a weeping rivet somewhere I could fix it easily before closing up the tank for good.
Again, I'd appreciate any thoughts on why this might or might not be a good idea.
