Do you know where the hydraulic reservoir is in your aircraft? If i remember correctly from my brief time in the PA44, its rear of the baggage door.

on another note, 1800 psi? Seriously? that is insane, you sure its not 180, or 18? 1800 is one hell of a explosion if something goes wrong. Not to mention requires one heck of stong compressor. Ever been near a scuba tanks or paintball hpa tank when they fail? lethal, and at the very least deafening.
Its been years since ive touched a seminole but I think I remember the pressure being constant right around 17 or 1800. Pump comes on at 1400 to re-pressurize.

This could possibly be completely inaccurate=)
