Hey all, I've finished my oil tank and my fuel tank, welded 5052 Aluminum. I need to leak test it. I know of people using air pressure, some using water with an additional "header pressure" of water. My question is I've looked in a few places and can't seem to find any specs of how much PSI(I understand that its LOW PSI) or amount of water column to use. Does anyone have any reference material regarding this.
I have a regulator and I can just test them to 2-3 PSI. I'm just wondering if there's anything published.
Thanks
Mark
