Bloody leaking LP switch, well done Sherlock! Annoying being stitched up by that dual cut-out switch though, they let the rookie assemble that one!!

[@heavydiesel]

Yeah it was, though it was the first time I've had one not work from new. Will see how the warranty works out with it.

[@paulsilver1625]

I preferred liquid eye sight glasses. You could see through them and they had a yellow disc on the back so it would magnify the circle.

[@paulf2529]

Agree.

[@heavydiesel]

Yes they used to be factory fitment on the old Fullwood milk tanks, you could shine a light through from behind to see if there were any bubble etc, worked even if they were dirty.

[@tomasnewson6744]

I had a brand new ranco LP switch which made on fall & broke on rise . Took my ages to get my head around it , kept second guessing myself 😂

[@Thermoelectric7]

Sounds like it was a HP switch not an LP switch?

[@tomasnewson6744]

@ exactly , but with LP bellows . I usually set them up roughly OFN at the van . HRP ended up taking it back and sending it to ranco 👍🏻

[@heavydiesel]

I had one that had been in service for 20 years and then started working the opposite way to how it should.

[@tomasnewson6744]

@@heavydiesel stuff like that makes me want to give up 😄

[@judgebaxter9833]

Excellent work. Your videos are so good!

[@heavydiesel]

Thank you!

[@sterlingarcher46]

We've had a series of transducers that leaked through the wires just like that . We had to switch manufacturers and replace them . But that pressure switch at thr end of the job , oh boy ! Whenever I can I like to set the pressure switch with nitrogen , this way if anything is wrong I can see it before installing it and also less faffing around once it's installed. But man that's annoying !

[@FrontSideBus]

Interesting! Not seen something like that before!

[@heavydiesel]

I've seen videos of similar leaks on eev valves on air con, but first time I've seen it.

[@andyjones7836]

Yes that switch was annoying, you think to yourself thats that, changed and sorted. Then spend the next 20mins trying to work out why it's not working as it should. It happens with all sorts of things - nothing last forever - not even the new stuff. . Anyway Happy New year, but no time to celebrate on to the next call 😂😂😂

[@heavydiesel]

Yes it was one of those jobs where you question your life choices!

[@gerardomireles122]

Thanks again heavy diesel interesting documentation cool Video only one what model feature is the meter awesome cool

[@heavydiesel]

The leak detector is a Javac 'Gas-Mate', I'll do a video on it.

[@paulsilver1625]

Good job well done. 👏

[@paulsilver1625]

I love my D tek leak tester. But the rechargeable internal battery isn’t great

[@heavydiesel]

Yeah, I've got one and everytime I go to use it it seems the battery is flat, I should look into getting a new battery.

[@mikefreedom5612]

What's the make and model of your leak detector?

[@heavydiesel]

Its a Javac 'Gas-Mate', I'll do a vid on it.

[@paulsilver1625]

Refrigerant flavoured milk. Mmmm.

[@heavydiesel]

Haha! Yeah they usually leak outwards as that side of the evaporator sandwich plate is thinner, I have heard of them leaking inwards but never seen it.

[@paulsilver1625]

Did you take the temp of the pipes before and after.

[@heavydiesel]

No, its usually really obvious when the tank is leaking as the pressure drops quickly.
