Fuel line testing cont.

 Well I have spent a few minutes the past several days trying to locate a leak in the fuel line.  It was a small leak as the pressure would go down some after 24 hrs. I finally located using kids bubble soap and found it at the forward connection of the FT-60.  After several attempts of unattaching, retightening, reflaring, rebending, I finally was able to get it to stop leaking.   I was about ready to give up and order a new piece of tubing, but I gave the connection a little more torque and it seemed to hold. No more bubbles.  I put the pressure at 12 psi and we will see if it holds over night.

If you noticed I purchased a new pressure gauge that would allow for better accuracy of smaller psi.

Time: 2 hr.
