Aerosol Solutions Leak Detector - Viscous Gas Leak Detector and Indicator

If you’re still diagnosing PCP air leaks by dunking parts into a bucket of water or spraying washing-up liquid over everything, there’s a decent chance you’re also slowly encouraging corrosion while making your workshop smell faintly of lemon detergent.

 

The Aerosol Solutions Leak Detector exists to solve that properly.

 

Designed specifically for detecting gas and air leaks, this non-flammable, non-caustic leak detection spray quickly reveals escaping air through visible bubble formation without the mess, moisture exposure, or rust-promoting side effects of the old “dish soap and hope” method.

 

And yes, unlike washing-up liquid, this actually contains a rust inhibitor instead of quietly helping oxidation do its thing.

 

Airgun & PCP Use

This has become genuinely useful within our own service department for quickly diagnosing leaks on:

  • PCP air rifles
  • Fill probes
  • Regulators
  • Foster fittings
  • Cylinders and buddy bottles
  • Gauge threads
  • Fill valves and bleed screws

 

Instead of dragging out a bucket, a paddling pool, or performing increasingly desperate bubble experiments with Fairy Liquid, you simply apply the spray directly to the suspected area and watch for bubbling.

 

Leaks become obvious almost immediately.

 

Why It’s Better Than the “Dish Soap Trick”

Yes, washing-up liquid technically works. It also:

  • Leaves residue behind
  • Introduces unnecessary moisture
  • Can promote corrosion over time
  • Gets absolutely everywhere
  • Makes your workshop look like you’re washing dishes instead of servicing PCP rifles

 

This spray is specifically designed for leak detection, meaning:

  • Better bubble visibility
  • Cleaner application
  • Less mess
  • Rust inhibitor included
  • Safer around sensitive components

 

It’s basically the grown-up version of leak testing.

 

Features & Benefits

  • Designed for gas and air leak detection
  • Viscous formula improves bubble visibility
  • Detects even very small leaks
  • Non-flammable formula
  • Non-caustic
  • Solvent-free
  • Contains rust inhibitor
  • Suitable for fittings, joints, valves, and pipework

 

Typical Uses

Particularly useful for:

  • Diagnosing slow PCP leaks
  • Finding leaking fill connectors
  • Checking regulator seals
  • Testing workshop airline fittings
  • Verifying repairs after servicing

 

Especially helpful when a rifle has developed the classic “mysteriously empty overnight” problem.

 

Directions for Use

  • Spray directly onto suspected leak area
  • Observe for bubble formation
  • Wipe away excess product after testing if required

 

Simple, fast, and considerably less ridiculous than balancing an air rifle over a child’s swimming pool.

 

Safety Information

  • Use in well-ventilated areas
  • Avoid contact with eyes
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Store away from extreme heat

 

 

This is one of those products that sounds boring right up until the moment you actually need it.

For PCP servicing and leak diagnosis, it’s vastly cleaner, safer, and more effective than improvised soap-and-water methods, while also helping avoid the corrosion problems that those old workshop tricks can quietly create over time.
