I'm adding a hose run from the aux port on our Imagine 2600RB so I can run propane to our dual fuel inverter. I have all the hardware and want to pressure check for leaks. My question can I use low pressure air from a compressor to test for leaks. I'd prefer to use air rather than propane. Anyone familiar or have experience with doing something like this?

A snoop type bottle with a soap solution is a great way to find small leaks.

I've used this from Amazon for about a year now and it works great. Good way to tell if you're not getting the line on the bottle tight enough, ask me how I know lol.

I like that tool. I guess I need to get a bigger tool box.
I always thought they would be more expensive than that.
