my flatline tank leaks out of the pressure adjustment hole when the pressure is over 800 and when its a bit over 1000 the leak goes crazy - this isnt good since i have an x-valve and it doesnt function that well at 800 psi. i cleaned the regseat and piston and stuff and oiled it, the o-ring looked fine too... what parts can i buy or what do i do to fix it?

thanks friends

It is most likely the reg piston/seat. Most people cannot change one without wrecking both parts. I just got some rom AGD and the reg pistons were set incorrectly at 800/850/900...Dave Z sent me some new ones that he personally checked himself.

i ordered a reg seat/pin from AGD store (pictured below) and put it in, the flatline reg is pretty much the same as the back half of a classic valve. so it was easy to replace, oiled it and dropped it in, no problems, works great
