detecting gas line leak

by "Tim" <trinaz@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 6, 2008 at 09:21 AM

I have a '87 jeep Cherokee...manual 4.0 engine..live in Az and it won't
pass 
the EPA test here...there is a very minor leak in the gas line 
somewhere...no visible leaking...no loss of fuel...no smell of gas...but 
when the EPA pressure tested the gas line from the cap...there was a small

drop in pressure.

What's the best way to try and find the leak...?...no "visable signs 
anywhere...EPA suggested  probably a corrosion leak...but how can I find
it.

Can I get a pressure gage/tester thing somewhere that I can pressurize the

system myself...and then check for leaks physically...soap bubbles..etc. 
Have a good compressor with pretty accurate pressure controls so as to not

over pressurize the system.

Thanks, Tim
