Small shop vac on the pressure side would do it as well, just make sure it isn't blowing dirt and such out the hose first. Won't be able to hear a leak though, should be able to feel around for one.
That's one way----but there's always a variety of ways of doing thing..
"10,000 roads lead to Rome" is one of most favorite sayings...
So "feel around" is wonderful. Marvelous. An excellent idea..
Me, I prefer to get a spritz-bottle and some little bit of dish-soap and water and spritz around connections and look for bubbles forming...just like when you mount tires, right?
and while I'm sure there will be many people angry at what is certain to be called let's see what's your favorite endlessly repeated phrase...ah yes "me forcing people to do my "way or the highway"??? whatever it is yo're always saying....,
there
IS one very small advantage to the spritz bottle and soapy water method, well 2 really:
a)
you can spray into places you cannot get your hand into..well that I can't get my hand in
b)
you can see bubbles form in places you cannot get your hand into and the nice little bubbles form at pressures that are much lower than I know I could ever feel---but naturally others, more experienced, more up-to-date could...
This idea was ---as always--- one of the thousands of ways that leak-check could be done, so maybe for once we could do without your constant lament accusing me-
-FALSELY--of claiming there's ONE WAY to do things...this one is just
one easy way.. I'm sure you can suggest more ideas.
