Air leak

January 14, 2023, 09:58:12 pm

Notice I was loosing air so I started to check but my hearing is bad so I got my son to see if
he could hear it and he could an found it. It's a protection valve off the left tank. Now I might
have to wait until Monday to get a new one.

Get 2. When 1 goes bad the other is not far behind

Are you sure the valve is bad and not blowing off because of too high of pressure?

I had it apart and the diaphragm is really worn, and cracks all away around where it flexes.
I couldn't see where it was leaking through but it definitely is leaking the diaphragm.

Got a new valve this morning and installed it. I think I might repair the old one. I thought about
making a new diaphragm out of an old bicycle tube and a friend told me he has done the same
with good success.
