Airbag: tank leak
Truck project + digital camera = lots of time on this board!!!!
Earlier today I was testing my multiport tank. I figured that before I started attaching all the plumbing, I'd make sure the tank was OK. I plugged most of the 8 holes; only used 1 for the Schroeder valve (I used my shop air compressor as the air source), 1 for the pressure gauge and one for a single fill valve. I filled the tank to 80#. Sprayed all threaded pieces with diluted soap and water and did not see any air bubbles. Waited about 30 minutes and the pressure was down to 75#. Anybody have advice on how to track down the leak? BTW: Just for fun, I connected one rear bag line to the valve and activated it. Nearly threw the tank off the frame and the one side really jumped. Of course, when the bed is on, it might be a little slower....
