  • Chasing air leaks

    Posted by Alex on October 24, 2020 at 10:04 am

    Has anyone used dye in the air system to chase down leaks? Are there issues / concerns.

    Thanks

    No, but Big Al did once try smoke while I watched holding his beer. Smoke didn’t work, ya had to be there, then he left that stinky smoke machine in my garage.

    Oh ya…..Mr Truk had a field day with this one.

    IMHO it seemed like a perfect idea injecting smoke into the AUX air system. It did’nt work and the smell , yikes.

    Inject propane and bring the system up to max pressure.

    Then all you need is a Bic lighter to pinpoint the leak.

    OK, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT THINK I AM SERIOUS I AM NOT. IF YOU TRY IT AND YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
