Tire Air Leak, Anomaly?

[Schiefswret]

Here is the link to the soap/glycerin solution for checking leaks https://www.hunker.com/13417536/how-...detection-soap

• Fill a quart jar with clean water.
• Measure and add 3 tablespoons of dish detergent. Dawn makes the biggest bubbles per my kids way back when.
• Add 2 teaspoons of liquid glycerin to make the bubbles last longer, which makes them easier to detect.
• The solution becomes more effective if you leave it overnight in an open container. In fact, the longer you leave it, the better the bubbles it produces.

Hope this helps

Great! Thank you Keith!

When I check my tires, I actually submerge them in my swimming pool.[/I] - TucsonJim

I still think Jim's method of immersing his 297RSTS is the most accurate way of looking for an air leak. (Sorry, jim, I couldn't resist!)

Guest -- is it true you took this picture of Jim checking for an air leak on his 297RSTS at the rally?





Yes, I've had a nip or two of an adult beverage tonight...time for bed!

howson Howard,

I ordered a pool. Would anyone want an unused filter?

I've been living in the hospital with my elderly mom and when I get home, there will be quite a few nips. Thinking Guinness.
