I tried presure testing mine, but it proved more trouble than it was worth, and the results were inconsistent (perhaps down to the kit). The best way i found was to simply fill it up with water and trace where it's leaking from.
I know it sounds a bit risky filly with water, but it was absolutely fine. I just left it upside down for a day to get the water out, then filled it with a litre or two of petrol, swished that arounds and left it for a while longer, then disposed of that fuel.
Ran fine after.

Don't see what the risk is in filling it with water. The storage tanks at your local petrol station will contain significant amounts of water, therefore so will the fuel you purchase.
As long as you don't try to run the car off a tankful of course.....
Tank is now with a motorsport fabrication company who make Ally tanks for a living, they are going to fix it.
