Airbag ???

[soltz]

For those that are using bags, do you ever get all the leaks stopped [S
Tried the usual soupy water spray bottle all fittings nothing found, all pressure gone in about 20 min.
Any advise welcomed
Thanks.

I'm not a airbag fan.
If you have a pump, it's probably bleeding back through the compressor.

If you're losing it that fast I would bet on the check valve or the control
system be it electric valves or manual.
It took two days to get my leaks stopped but now it only loses about
1/2 of the pressure over night. which is dang good I think.
Good luck.

If you're losing it that fast, I'm surprised you can't hear it. Is there a check valve for the pump? If it's not at the connections, it would be the valves. You could try screwing plugs into the dump ports to see if that stops it. (I realize you can't run that way, it would just let you know if it was the valves leaking.)

put a manual valve after the pump . that way when your not running it just close it . if its the pump this will stop it .

Bags

Got bags on the back of 66 c10 and they stay up for weeks! Use good fittings. I didn't use the push in type bought brass compression fittings, also make sure the hose is not kinked any where. Use a good "P" clip with rubber insert to hold all the lines make sure they don't bind or any thing and you should be good. Just my .02

And good pipe thread sealer where needed.

thanks guys, yes on the check valve, yes on the thread sealant, it has the slip at the bags but shows no leaks with the soupy water test [S All I can do is keep trying.

Check the bags themselves, for leaks, even if they are new.
Puncture or manufactures defect

Maybe some tomato soup then? [cl[cl

Air it all up well and have your daughter listen for leaks. Guaranteed her hearing is better than yours.

How much pressure do you need to lift the front end?

Who you calling old [S
I'll try that and it takes about 100psi but works better at 120, the pump cutoff is set at about 130 +/-
Thanks for the info.
