Fill them with Nitrogen they won't leak as much. Not that I've tried it.


How do you figure that? Air is already mostly nitrogen. Why would a
higher concentration of nitrogen leak any less than plain old air? The
difference in atom sizes between nitrogen and the other major
constituents of air is on the order of a few percent, so even the other
constituents aren't going to leak out leaving just nitrogen.
