RE: Air Leak Test
what code or standard were the tanks designed to?
were the tanks designed for pressure and vacuum?
are the tanks anchored?
what type of fixed roofs do the tanks have?
will the tanks be empty otherwise?
where are you trying to find leaks?
if it is the shell you are looking for leaks on, can you propose a vacuum box instead of pressure test?
2 psig is the equivalent about 4.6 feet of water
this should be no problem for the outer tank shell but may be an issue for the inner tank
RE: Air Leak Test
Otherwise you risk collapsing the inner tank.
I don't really follow your description - can you explain better / add a drawing?
Do you mean the annulus between the two tanks is being used as a separate storage volume all of its own?
Remember - More details = better answers
