One to watch for
Has anyone ever seen a leak on a pipe with 20psi in it and actually sucking in?
I had a leak on a 1/4 pipe with 20 psi flowing through it and when I sprayed it it sooked inwards!!!!
Next time the system gets shut down.

Hi Bernard,
I guessed thats why it happened, but I have never noticed it on a fridge system before.
Makes you think about all them leak tests you done and never found a leak...
