The device is installed in the end of a storage cylinder, in which a liquid propulsion rocket motor assembly is housed for detection of a leak in the liquid propulsion system from outside the storage cylinder. The fuel consists of a fuel component and an oxidizing component. Leakage is indicated by use of a circular absorbent pad impregnated with N-phenylanthranilic acid on one half and with mercurous chloride on the other half. The chemicals change color when contacted by components of the fuel.
