[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 67. -----(starting da bubble machine )

[H.Hagar]

I am passionate about blottertest --- they work and do not cost.    Likewise I am
promoting the " Bubblemachine"     --- liquid dish detergent works better than  "snoop".

Case history :    GM pickup right front wheel ---very slow leaker.   I tanked the wheel
no sign of leaks.      ----    but it kept leaking on truck.

One day I was washing the truck  (using dish liquid) ------do not tell your wife. Anyway
 I soaped the front end ---and the phone rang.

Much later  (next day)   I noticed a patch of very small bubbles on sidewall. It was  Leaking
only when sidewall was flexed.

Is it a good test for testing coolant systems for leaks to combustion chambers.???   IMHO
IMHO   the best. ---    If you have to look for your Bunny in the suds ----bingo  we have a leak.
Very funny --the amount of suds --- from a good leaker. Reminds me of putting laundry soap
in the dishwasher. 1 foot deep all over kitchen floor.

Leak testing heat-shields ? ---- go soapy . (from a cold start)   Try not to get water on a running
hot injection pump..

Leaky windshields ?  ---sudsy has the answer.   Pressurize Bunny with your shop vac. Brush on 
the liquid ----you will not fail to find the leak.

And what about that cute little grand daughter ??? let her blow a few bubbles. Here it was little
"HOPE"   hopie to me ----Blowing bubbles is a lot safer than rolling truck wheels down the drive way across the highway. Now I am just a grumpy old man.

Hagar.

PS:  I use the soapy test on all liquid cooled engines.-------problem or no problem.
