Someone posted a do-it-yourself pressure tester made from 4-inch (?) (~10 cm)
PVC plumbing pipe, capped on one end, with a tire Schrader valve in the cap end.
The pipe is put into (help me out here) the Michelin Man (lower) hose, and a
compressor is used to pressurize the pipe (about 10-15 pound per square inch
(psi)), and then listen for the leak(s).
