Checking for Air Leaks

One of the things that irritated me the most when I was a mechanic was getting a truck to work on and having to build air pressure due to leaks. Once I got caught up with other repairs, air leaks became my focus.
Some can be heard, in a quiet place, brakes set, wheels chocked, you can crawl under the truck to find a leak, then repair it. Those leaks that cannot be heard can be found using a soap solution, spray on fittings and other air connections watching for bubbles.
Once the leak is found, the repair can be made. Remember, safety first, these airlines are under pressure. Drain all air before disconnecting any lines or removing any fittings.
Till next time, be safe out there.

Shouldn't the compressor be running so the leaks would be more noticeable?

[@arionnecoleman3206]

Did he find the leak? I guess we'll never know.

How do you cut that line .25 in in the dash . Not much rm to work. I was thinking side cutters but it could deform the line. It could be hard to get a utility knife I behind the panel the switch is in. Thx 4 ur vid.

What's the name of the valve?

Quick Connect airline fittings ought to be banned. The reason why they are used is because, bureaucrats in the DOT were bribed, by the manufactures, to allow for these dangerous devices.

The ugly of the push lock fitting is you replace it with a compression fitting and problemed solved! Lazy people solve the problem for awhile! Real mechanics solve it for good!
