REFLECTOR: Leak testing Fuel Strake

[Alex]

that is the primary way to find leaks- you can blow up a balloon and attach
it to either the vent or fuel line and use the pressure to check for leaks
with the soap- unless you have a very large leak this will work for most of
them- only need the refrigerant sniffer if you can not find it with method

Forgive me wise collective:
 
I know I have read several of the posts before, never paid enough attention
to the answers as it always seemed like it would be so long before I needed
the info...
 
Other than refrigerant and a "sniffer" to test the "seal" on my
strakes...Does someone have a good method they can share? My thought was low
air pressure, 2 to 3 psi  and a water bottle with a little soap in it
....spray around the outside of the strake... see if I can blow some
bubbles...Thanks in advance for your input,
Larry Lambert XL/RG
