HI
I also found a little smear of Vaseline on the end of the tube before you put it into the fitting helps a lot.
The ultrasonic leak detector sounds awesome :cool:

Inficon brand, 'Whisper' model. Around $250 from Valutesters.com
Valuetesters.com: HVAC AC, Cable Testers, Thermal Cameras at discount Leak Detector Ultrasonic - Industrial
Edit:- That was in 2009, $50 of that was shipping. Mine operates from two size 'D' cells, so I'd say it's the equivalent of the current 'enhanced' Whisper. According to my specs, it will detect an air leaking out of a 0.004" diameter orifice, at 5.0 psig. from a distance of 12"
That's 0.1mm hole at 30cm distance at 5psi.
- This may be a little optimistic, as it was not as effective when dealing with very slow leaks on an inflatable boat. - The reason I bought it.
Bubble Bath or Windex or dishwashing liquid is a lot cheaper.....
