G'day,

I just spotted this blower on sale at HF:

http://tinyurl.com/7jagj7g

According to the spec sheet it puts out 300 Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) and the dimensions are: 11-1/2" L x 8-3/4" W x 11-1/2" H.

I am thinking this might be a good candidate for a GMC water leak tester. At 8 3/4" wide it wouldn't be too hard to mount it to a
board which would fit in the driver / passenger window to pressurize a GMC and find leaks. The spec does not state what the
deadheaded pressure output is nor does the manual.

Queries:

1) Do you think the flow of 300 CFM from one blower is sufficient to leak check a GMC?
2) Do you think the pressure output of one blower is sufficient to leak check a GMC?

Regards,
Rob M.
