Brief Description:  Right tank leak check

Left tank was emptied of water and no leaks noted after sitting all night so it's ready to install the rear baffle. Set up the right tank in the cradles and added water but this time there was an immediate leak from the tank attach bracket area, both top and bottom sides. Siphoned out the water, blew out any water with an air hose, and let the tank dry in the sun for a few hours until dry and resealed the inside and outside around the tank attach bracket. There was one suspect area but no obvious areas lacking sealant. This time I got a large inspection mirror fromt the auto parts store so I could check the back side of the tank attach bracket as I applied more sealant. Will check this again in a couple days with another water test. Since I had some extra sealant mixed and an inspection mirror I went to the leaft tank and made sure the back of he tank attach bracket was well sealed there just to be safe. So far I have used just over a quart of sealant to assemble both tanks without trying to be stingy with the sealant.
