No substitutions whatsoever shall be made without checking
with Sailcrafter Engineering.
5. After the assembly of the stove and tank are completed
the following tests should be preformed.

to apply pressure to the system.
b. Close all valves on the stove and pump
air pressure up to 10 psi and observe
the pressure gauge for possible tank leaks.
c. If no tank leaks are observed in test "a" above, the
tank stove system shall be left with this pressure
applied for a minimum period of five hours.
6. For final inspection the following test should be made.
a. Air pressure shall be applied to 10 psi with the
tank valve open and all stove valves closed.
b. If there is no measurable drop in pressure in a one
hour period the system shall be considered
acceptable.
7. If at any time during any of the tests described in this
procedure a leak is detected, the source of the leak shall be
found and corrected, and the test shall be started over again.
