I guess you could check the tank like we did on the Pulsar I built.
Put a balloon on the vent and and blow on the fuel line to pressurize the tank by filling the balloon. Then apply soapy water every where until you see bubbles.....

It was titled, "A couple of things"
I had commented on the wing leak and working on a Cheetah
The leak is coming from somewhere along the outboard rib. I completely resealed around the spar and plus or minus a foot on either side of it. Apparently, the tank leaked at the factory and an attempt was made to reseal it there. They used high adhesion sealant on the access covers.

I thought about that or something similar. The tank needs to be empty . . . . again. Leaks are such a pain in the ass.
