leaking robart instalation
#2
Well, heres what I would do. Use spray cleaner around fittings, like when you're looking for leaks in an LP system. You would need to use something (a towel) to keep the wood from getting too wet since it might take several sprays. You might try a few drops of 3in1 oil to lube the cylander also. How fast is the leak? If mine hold air over night or a couple of days, I'm happy.

I would have suggested putting the whole installation (under pressure) into a little container full of alcohol (not water, beacause getting rid of it would have been a real hassle).

OK, so here what I would do, somewhat similar to Edwin's piece of advice. Use several drops of washing up fluid on 'suspects' parts, e.g. Robart valve. This stuff bubbles a LOT, so finding the leak should be easy...
You could also hold a little burnin' match close to your 'suspect' parts, any leak will result in a 'dancing' flame. But take care, your aircraft is highly flammable [X(] !!!!
