There was a recent post in which a listee put a mag wheel type bolt-on
Schrader valve in the top of the expansion tank to allow for release of
trapped air which I thought you could use for rough & ready pressure
testing.

Really clever, I thought.

Just checked my archives.   Pascal Giasson had an even better idea for a
more sophisticated tester from hardware store parts and he was kind enough
to send me pix & instructions.  If you want them, I'd be happy to pass them
on.
