Looks like a Diverite poster AD. Glad you had a good time.

Adrian, not sure if its on your check list but you might want to consider adding it. Presurize the O2 and Dil hoses, note the pressures and turn the tank valves off. Do some of your other checks like pos and neg loop then check pressures again to see if they have dropped and hence a leak. Its a check i have found useful in the past. I know you do not have a Kiss but on that CCR its a good check to see if the MAV is operating properly, not clogged and the 1st stage IP has not changed. I actually time the pressure drop to confirm it is the same as I would expect.
