Bulge in fuel tank

Hi all,

As we were in the process of getting ready
for first flight we noticed that the fuel tank
has bulged forward about 1/2 inch at the
front side, between the two spacers.
The tank is now just touching the aileron
cross connect link. We have an XS kit
delivered a little over two years ago
(kit A135).
I heard there was a problem
with earlier tanks that required filling
them with fuel for a while before bonding
them into the cockpit module, but I thought
our later tank did not need this.
Has anyone had a similar experience,
and if so, what did you do about it?
