finding alcohol leaks

[Daniel R. Fuller]

When ever you have an alcohol leak and it is not obvious where it
is, get some baby power or similar and dust the tank or offending
part.  Put the alcohol in the tank and look for the damp power.  It
works like a champ.  I have had small leaks that would not show up
with any other home test.  Clean up and re-solder.

Thanks Dan .

  That sounds an excelent way ( never heard that remedy before ) I tried
air and water and pressurizing without any sign ;;as I told Geoff the
problem was shortage of thread on the needle casing so I added a washer over
an O ring and it solved the problem  thanks again Dan.

An even surer way than those proposed is to do a superb paint job first.  Any
alcohol leaks will be clearly indicated by the peeling paint.
