Europa-List: Fuel tank leak might not be what you think.

If one day you find your Europa with fuel leaking out as I did don't assume 
it's the fuel tank like I did. 
I just completed a air pressure test at 2psi like the service bulletin 
suggests.  At first pressure came down rather fast but a soap test revealed the 
capacitance gauge unit bolts were loose, tighten em up then it was not leaking 
at all.  
So what caused the tank to empty out almost completely?  Not sure yet maybe the 
sight gauge tube?  I'm still working on that but the tank holds pressure.

 I was so certain it was a tank crack I installed the aluminum oval lid as per 
Dave Disney/Miles McCullum's Mod 8, it is great to have access to inspect the 
tank so no regrets. One less obstacle.
