Need to check my pressure tank for leak

[bspeth]

7520,cruise-a-day tank. Orings recently replaced ,and diaphragm and main gasket replaced in recent years. I thought that maybe the tank had pushed out a little fuel while fishing,but Im not sure if it was water from getting fish in the boat,I netted quite a few back there.Hard to tell by smell, it was just a little but enough to cause concern.Motor ran perfectly without a miss or stumble all day.How to test the tank? I was thinking of leaving in the sun for an hour or two and using soapy water.Thanks -B

Drain the tank.----Hook up fuel line to motor.----Pull recoil 15 times.-----Should be enough pressure on the tank for a soapy water bubble check.

When you're running it and it's pressurized, put some soapy water on it and look for bubbles.
