If the leak is on the pressurized side of the pump, I would think that  
the pump would have to be running a lot to empty the tank in an hour.  
I thought you suspected the line from the fwd tank so why are messing  
with the aft one? The lines from the aft tank to the pump are readily  
visible so any leak there I would think would be easy to see. Good luck.
