Any Easy way?
« on: May 31, 2013, 03:24:20 PM »
I have the 222 inboard with the 2 tank set up..I currently just use the rear tank because I can see that there are no issues with it. My question is...Any easy way to check the integrity of the under deck mounted tank for leaks without removing the deck? I really dont like having 50 on the stern all the time and none in the hull it just sits way to low in the back. Thanks

Plug the inlet, vent and outlet and pump it up to 4-6 psi with air. If it holds for an hour you should are good to go! If it starts loosing pressure right away (and assuming you can access through a deck plate) take the hoses out of the equation and check the tank by itself.

I kind of figured that would be the answer...LOL I actually was just kind of filling it with water and calling it a day. I would rather use it for fuel tho. Thanks.
