A few days ago I applied some micro on my hopefully now repaired strakes. I still have to smooth and pretty up the micro, but to get away from the fiberglass work for a bit I decided to add fuel to my new strake tanks and calibrate my newly installed Atkinson fuel gages. I had about 25 gallons that I added one gallon at a time, 1/2 gallon to each side. The Velocity has a center sump tank that the two strake tanks dump into. So I added fuel to each side in approximately equal amounts to allow everything to equalize better. I filled the sump tank first and it took just under five gallons. Nothing seemed to leak confirming my air pressure test with balloons a while back. What method, materials did you use to repair your fuel tanks. You cannot be the only one having this problem.
