I found a propane leak detector that might work for Duracool.

It is called Pocket Air Check and seems to be reasonably priced.

You can google that name and find several sites that sell it. Camping World sells it but not on the net. You might find it in some of their stores.

I found other sites that sell it from $30 to 45.

I haven't tried it but it says it is battery operated and you just run it along lines and fittings to find small leaks.

If anyone buys it and tries it please let us all know how it works for you.

I have one in the coach. And it works great on the propane. I do not run duracool yet. So cannot report on that.

Works on batteries. You press and hold the button in known good air. It buzzes. Then when it quits buzzing. It is ready to check for leaks. You have to keep holding the button down. If you let go. You have to start over with th
e letting it pre-test itself in good known air.

I think i got it for less then 40an bucks
