Apparently AF send instructions on how to leak test their tank prior to fitting, does anyone have a copy they could share on here?
Thanks

Best way is to put the cap on and block the breather. Use a schraeder valve and plug into the tap connection. Give it some pumps until pressure is felt then hold underwater.
