> Gonna also do a water leak test >before I put the top on the tank
When my aluminum tanks were done, the person who welded them swore he did a leak check. He lied. The tanks showed numerous holes with the water test, but even those we found were not the end of it. The solution was to use POR15 to seal the inside of the tanks. POR can be found online http://www.por15.com/. This is a metal sealer and works very well. I used it on my tanks and have 300 hours on them without a drop leaked (other than through my fuel cap, but that is another problem). One solution to leaks in metal tanks to think about.
