Just fill it up, and see if it leaks. My opinion is that the time to worry
about tank strapping (causing pressure points) is during the build. Maybe
someone else has a better idea. After that, try to keep some level of gas in
it, to minimize the number of expansion cycles that come with not having any
gas in it for awhile.

Subject: Europa-List: fuel tank question
I am returning an early Europa(pre 2000) back to service. It has been
sitting with an empty fuel tank for a number of years. I've been reading the
postings on swelling and cracking problems with the older tanks. Does
anyone have any suggestions/precautions I could take prior to putting fuel
back in it that might help prevent these issues ?
thanks
