Hi Al
  Do you have the suggested check valve allowing cabin air in to  the fuel 
vent system in the event the exterior vent system becomes restricted?  Is it 
perhaps reversed?
 This is only a suggestion.
Set your to compressor regulator to 10 psi.
Seal all openings to tanks except air hose from compressor with a shut off  
valve and an old altimeter.
Carefully apply pressure till the altimeter indicates 1000 ft. Below  field 
elevation.
 Shut the valve off.
Use a spray bottle of soap and water to find the leak.
After you find the leak, use a vacuum cleaner and carefully rase the  
altimeter to 1000 ft. Above field elevation. Apply Jeffco or epoxy slurry to the  
leak. This will be sucked in to the hole.
