Hopefully you/your guys will be able to find the slow leak if that is the case. |
I asked them to bring a new core tool and try again. Yesterday morning he showed up with a new core tool. So we now have new: core tool, micron gauge, pump, pump oil, and vac. hose. Pulled 413 in 15 minutes. Looking good - so we went for the final decay test (purple line).
See graph. There is no more I'm going to get from these guys so we charged the system. There is a reason it is going up. Hopefully still something not sealing in the instrumentation. I might buy a leak detector and go around seeing what I can find.
