Air leak idea.. - Yachts - 08-16-2015

Why is there not a product that you could plug an air line too and have an airline out of that we could then attach to the air chuck in the back of the coach that would send "smoke" into the airlines..wouldn't that make tracking air leaks easier.. Is there a product as such?

Might be, but the best way is with one of these.. They can find the smallest of leaks.. Steve has one and maybe some others..

And there maybe cheaper versions out there..

May I'm a klutz, but the ultra-sound thingy I have doesn't find the really small leaks. Soap bubbles have worked best for me. Yup it's messy. I've now gotten to where my compressor runs about once every 36 hours on hot days and more often on cold ones. Took me 2 years to get there.
