Diversions

I modified the test fitting that came with the kit to connect to a little hand pump with some hose. I hooked this into the drain fitting. I then took a piece of leftover vent line and flared one end to attach to the tank vent fitting.

Then I took a long piece of hose and attached it to a 2x4 clamped to the bench and the vent line. I filled the hose with colored water and I had a manometer. The hose is left over pitot and static hose from my Sonex. All I had to do was pump the tank until I had a 27” difference in height between the two sections of hose. A 27” column of water equals 1psi, the recommended max pressure for testing.
