[QUOTE="tonynoriega, post: 356095, member: 9694"] So, as some of you know, I restored my old Evinrude 50's ear pressure fuel tank. Paint, replaced parts, etc..etc... Put a nice decal on. Noticed a small air bubble in the center of the decal about the size of a dime. Popped it with a needle, gently mind you, and let the air out. Pressed the decal back in place. Took the kids out on the maiden voyage...everything ran great. The other night, I take a look at my tank, and the bubble is about the size of a baseball in diameter!!!! About a quarter full of fluid. Crap. Sliced the bottom of the bubble open, and the fluid that drained out was fuel. Do I have some sort of pin hole in my tank? Smack dab in the center of the wall? My worst nightmare just came true. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
