Correcting leaks
1. Use an electronic leak detector to check all areas of the inlet that are
potential sources of a leak.
2. Tighten loose connections to correct leaks, if necessary. You may need
to repeat the leak test.
3. If the pressure drop is now 0.5 psi or less, you can consider the inlet
system leak-free. If the pressure drops faster than the acceptable rate,
continue to search for leaks and repeat the pressure test.
