I’m interested in the replies to this since my own resealed tank is leaking again on fillups. I don’t see any shortcut after having done my job and expect four hours to be reasonable but I hope the flaw in my repair was my own fault and not crappy parts that did not last. I’m accustomed to screwing up and having to redo repairs but bad parts would really tick me off.
