Subject: [LML] Pressure testing = of gas=20 lines

I used compressed air on the gas = lines at twice=20 working -pressure, 80psi. I applied it through a regulator, = bringing it=20 up to pressure slowly. This was on the completed=20 installation.

I used the grease gun/gauge on all my = hydraulic=20 lines, once in position in the plane. Here I used 2000psi using=20 hydraulic fluid. I also primed all the hydraulic lines with the = grease=20 gun.

I only used air on the gas lines to = avoid=20 contamination by water or oil. Could have used gas in the grease = gun I=20 suppose.

At any rate not a leak=20 anywhere. Worth the extra=20 effort.
