Bring it to a propane place and let them test it. If there is any liquid in there adding compressed air cam make the mixture inside flammable. It is very rare for the tank itself to leak unless it is very rusty. There can be excessive rust under the ID tag. A tank leak is usually very easy to find.

I have a propane leak at some point in my 85 westy. Is there a way to fill with just compressed air to look for leak? It has the original tank and fittings. Thanks all. Spencer 85 Westy
