M. Testing Fuel Cells
Use either of the following procedures detect leaks in bladder cells:
(1) Soap Suds Test:
(a) Attach test plates to all fittings.
(b) Inflate the cell with air to a pressure of 1/4 psi
maximum
.
(c) Apply a soap and water solution to all repaired areas suspected of leakage. Bubbles will
appear at any point where leakage occurs.
(d) After testing, remove all plates and wipe soap residue from the exterior of the cell.
