In Austria we use following test to check the=20 fueltanks:
Fill the wings completly with water. Seal all=20 openings. Add a tube to the fuel pickup.
This tube should be 1.43 meters high and will also be=20 filled with water. Keep this for a few hours
and check the water level.
1,43m of water =3D 0,14bar =3D 4,14inHG =20 Pressure
There is no barometric error.
