Background
Leak testing is an important step in the production of fuel tanks. The specifications are getting more and more strict – reasonable or useless. However there are three basic methods for testing:

Well known water bath testing by operator with the big advantage that the operator can localise the leak and analyse the reason. Nevertheless operator depending testing seems to gain less acceptance in the future.

Test gas method, mainly Helium, in vacuum chamber with the advantage of dry testing but being very sensitive to bad maintenance and critical environ- ment. And last but not least it is a black box system without localisation and analysis capabilities.
