I gave it 15 psi (would that be correctly referred to as negative PSI?) and it held well. I had to look pretty close to see the needle moving downward. The heat gun method worked pretty well. Warmed the end of the old tube to get it slightly soft and jammed it over. Tight as hell now. The line not really in bad shape after I cut of 1/2 inch.
