Holla Alex. No, I have not used the pressure fitting - I am very reluctant due to the safety issues this involves.

A pressurised gasoline tank full of vapor in contact with hot exhaust gasses?
Can you imagine igniting the fuel tank in the plane?

I prefer to test it like it is and see. Worse comes to worse, I will find some other way to pressurise the tank (e.g. a second Robart air tank with a regulator).
