I put a bead of vaseline around the cap (before inserting it in place).

The air pressure is quite low, so that was enough to plug the leakage.

 I am currently trying to test my fuel tanks (including fuel line to the wing root) for

 leakages.

 

 Problem: I want to follow Bingelis' instruction using a balloon at the fuel tank vent. It is

 quite difficult to seal the fuel tank filler neck properly. How did you do that? Any advice?

 

 Cheers from Switzerland

 Martin
