Re: Gasoline in bilge :-(
well, after several attempts (resealing the fill-in air valve I assembled), the water column manometer still decreases when standby. It is a very slow decrease though.<br /><br />I bougth the manometer today (0-20 psi), and it also decreases when connected to my fill-in air valve. Slow decrease too.<br /><br />So, I think it is really difficult to get a totally sealed measurement system. Can't imagine how in hell will hold for an hour.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm going to test the fuel tank with the instruments I have (water column and manometer).
