Seems like we have been cut from similar cloth....

Why fly off the handle when a simple annotation is all that is needed....

I doff my cap to you, thee of great EAS brilliance....


Stop it you'll have me blushing. Don't know everything but i try to help if i can.:D:D
 
Well if you have recently done the block as you say, you will surely have changed the little O rings on the NRVs they come as part of the kit. However the guide cone on the NRVs does get a lip on it, that sometimes sits on the seat making the valves weep air. Do the test of NRV1 as described earlier. Any air coming from exhaust port when compressor is stopped and system is up to pressure is more than likely a leaking NRV1. The violet coded pipe from block to tank is the only connection that takes air to and from the tank. If both ends are sound and not leaking, way to test for leaks in pipe is to disconnect it from tank and block end. Then suck on other end and seal with your tongue, you should be able to get it to stick by vacuum. If it won't and the end is properly sealed there will be a pin hole in it. Unlikely though. Get it up to pressure spray with soapy water look for bubbles is the normal way of leak detection.

Thanks,
I'll try to figure it out. What you're saying is that, if there's no air escaping through the exhaust when the system is shut down, it's bound to be the connection at the valve block, the line itself, connection on tank or tank itself? That surely narrows it down.
Don't worry, I do a lot of work on pressurised systems, so I will not hurt myself. :)

Cheers,
Henrik
