I have been flushing/cleaning out some spare hydro bags not installed on the car. One bag does not de-pressurise so most of the cleaning fluid remains in the bag and might take a day or two to partially deflate.
I'm thinking there is a blockage inside the bag. Is there anything that can be done, or do I just keep some fluid in it soaking and keeping trying to flush it occasionally. Anyone had this problem before ?
cheers

One of mine did that when I was cleaning them. I kept blasting it with an air hose and eventually all the crud and water I had put in came out and it was OK. My air hose nozzle is tapered so it formed a kind of seal when pushed into the hose. I pressurised the displacer unit and pulled the air hose nozzle out and repeated until sorted. Not an expert so that could be wrong but that's what I did.
