in an attempt to get to the bottom of my poor running and air leak. I made another smoke leak detector.
I used a screen wash bucket with a tyre valve in one side and a hose connector on the other side.
I set the compressor to around ten psi and connected it to the trye valve.
I put a hose from the the other end onto to line that goes from manifold to the re circ using a t peice
Placed a peice of flag in the bottom, lit a small fire. Which consisted of some paper tissue, some terry cloth, a latex glove and some dired up grass.
Let it flare up for a minute then fasten the lid.
all was going well and smoke was appearing from under the manifold, just when I get my head in and the torch out, the lid flies off.
I keep trying it again but due to the heat the plastic is soft so the lid just pops straight of.
need to try it with a metal tin next
