The parts I ordered from Van's arrived yesterday so this morning I went to Home Depot and purchased the fittings and tubing to close-off the fuel system. I connected a piece of tubing between the fuel supply and return lines at the tank connection location. I installed the pressure gauge on the return line fitting at the firewall shelf and installed the cap fitting on the gascolator. I used a tire pressure fitting to put air into the system. It took an hour to lose pressure from 27 psi to 3 psi. Not good. I will need to do a soap bubble test on each of the fittings to see if I can determine where it is leaking. I guess that will have to wait until I am back from our trip to Gilbert for Christmas.
The last thing I did today was drill, deburr and rivet the mid firewall cowl hinges on each side of the firewall shelf.
