    reset regular leak.. need help

    My preset 68ci tank has leaked out the fill valve for awhile, real slowly though. Not its leaking out the small port thats about the size of a pencil tip on the side of the reg. Any suggestions on a repair? Can it be outright replaced?

    Your best bet would be to take it to a pro shop and have them install a new reg.

    Ninja has a semi-adjustable one for $35 that works well.

      Dude. That's a super easy fix. Unscrew your fill nipple, get a scribe or anything that will fit in the side where you attach the air hose and push the guts out of the fill nipple. There's a O'ring inside that you have to replace. Put everything back together, use tape on your threads and you should be good.

      EDIT: Make sure you degas the tank

        Hehe Ando.

        I think when he said "Not it is leaking..." he meant "Now it is leaking" which would mean he has a leak that is from the body of the reg, not the fill nipple.

                There's 2 or 3 O'rings inside those regs. I've disassemble mine before and cleaned/ck'ed/replaced said O'rings Might want to ck that first. You don't need to pull the reg apart from the tank. Just unscrew the top.

                Easier said then done I know

                I'll try to find a picture of one broken down.
