I just pulled my Flatline out after a year or so in the bag and went to gas it up. It filled fine and this morning I pulled it out to play around with it and the tank is empty. I didn't appear to be leaking the entire ride from the shop to mu house (about 1/2 hour). Does it just need a rebuild or is there something more sinister a foot? Any ideas would be welcome.

Get the tank filled and then carefully mix some dishwashing liquid with warm water, taking care not to make any suds. Apply that around all of the fittings: fill nipple, air supply nipple, reg screw-in, and the gauges. If you get bubbles, then you have a leak there. That should help you to figure out where the leak is coming from.
Windex will also work, if you do not have dishwashing liquid available.
Hopefully, the leak is coming around a gauge or fill nipple. That is easy to fix with some carefully applied teflon tape.Andrew Borntreger

That was the first thing I did and I'm pretty sure it is internal. The reg hasn't been rebuilt in the time I've owned (3 years +/-). Anyone know where I can get the diagrams/pictures that go along with Black VGC's thread on flatline maintenance? His text is great but I would feel better having a picture or two to follow.Comment
