Outside of the usual soapy water trick, I used a local AC guy with a Freon sniffer. Put some Freon in the tank, pressurize, and sniff with the probe.

Subject: [LML] How to find a small leak in a wing????

 

Hello,
I am trying to find out a way to find a small leak in a IVP wing. I hooked up an altimeter to vent line, and it slowly rises over time. I tried to introduce smoke into the system, then put slight pressure into the wing, and still no sign of any visible smoke. I also tried a sniffer with the smoke in the wing, but I never found a leak. Any other ideas?????
Thanks, Guy Foreman
