Once the tank was finished I cut an access hole in it. I then filled the tank with water and a little liquid dish washing soap to break the surface tension of the water (water has a high surface tension so sometimes it wont leak out of really small holes). That's Bailey behind the tank. When I get the my sending unit it will be mounted along with the fuel pick up in the access cover plate ... oh, and of course he tank didn't leak. The next step will be to attach "tabs" inside the lip of the tank. The aluminum I used for the tank is 0.090-inches thick ... not thick enough to tap to screw the
access cover plate to. I will attach the tabs to the inside of the tank and then drill and tap through the tank and tab so I can screw the access cover plate in place.
