If you had a problem with the manual inflators then I guess you would not spot if they were leaking o2 or dill into the loop on the positive test as the leak could be small and would pass a soap/water check. I would say the same for the ADV but I guess you can check these later by pressurizing and turning off the tanks to ensure pressure is maintained, I do this as part of pre-dive checks anyway.

Cheers

Interesting i definitly hadent thaught of this one.
