    Fill nipple leak fix

    Just passing on a little helpful info. My fill nipple has been leaking for the past 2 weekends. I drained the tank and removed the nipple. Push the "guts" out of the nipple and my o-ring was chewed up. I found that a o-ring from a pair of airshocks fittings work great. So, if your nipple is leaking, don't buy a new one, just go the auto parts store and buy a few o-rings!

    Just don't make the same mistake I did with the first one I took apart. When I took the fill nipple off, I couldn't get the plunger out because the o-ring had it jammed where it was broken. So I thought, well maybe I'll just put a little air through it.
    Have you ever done something, and before it even happens, and it's too late to stop it, you think, NOOOOoooooo!!! Yep, you guessed it. Shot it like a rifle when I hooked it to my bulk fill tank. Remarkably though, I found the nipple!! lol. Lesson learned the hard way.
