Default RE: Engine testing

Don't run your engine untill the fusilage is covered and the exposed wood is painted with fuel proof paint. Glow fuel is about 18% oil and most of it comes out of the exhaust and gets all over your plane.
I often check fuel tanks by holding them under water while blowing into the fuel line to pressurize the tank. No air bubbles mean the tank is sealed.
