Ghetto pressure tester. 100psi of air made one of the hose ends leak so i gotta replace it. I must have screwed it up during assembly.

I got the hose swapped out. Aired it up to 97psi. It is holding so i am gonna let it sit overnight. BTW spraying soapy water on all the fittings and hose ends determined the leak. Just look for bubbles

More fittings = more places to fail
