I recently reworked the >> Air Station << for my compressor, and when I was all said and done, I figured out that I had leak somewhere, it was nothing big, took all night for the compressor to leak down. I first shut everything off in the shop that made noise, and listened, nothing, I also just felt around, as sometimes you can feel the air leak, nope, no go, so the next step is tiny bubbles
I'm sure that most of you know this little trick, but as they say, a picture says a thousand words, so...........
Gee..... think there is a leak there....
A good crank on the valve, and then another spray, and no more leak!
I put 1/3 dish washing liquid, and 2/3 water in a small spray bottle, and just spray on to each joint.
Make sure you don't spray on the electrical parts of the compressor, and to be safe, I always unplug the compressor as well.
Works like a charm!
