They did a pressure test on the gas tank on mine last December. They never did that one before. I heard they tightened up the specs but mine passed so I'm OK on that part.

I have never figured out why they waste so much time on the visual inspection when it's the stuff coming out of the exhaust pipes that's the important part.
