CP On/Off leak?

[Iceman8446]

This shure came out of nowhere. I went to has up my gun to make shure everything was ready for the weekend and for some reason after I screwed my tank into my on/off and I started turning the knob air was rushing out of the front of the on/off.

Any body have any ideas on whats goin on?

its more than likely just an o-ring. i would suggest calling cp and seeing what they can do for you.

Well, sure, if you want to go for the easy answer it's probably the O-rings. But my money is on el chupacabra.

I sent um an e-mail so we'll see what they say. And whats an el chupacabra?

[warbeak2099]

It's a Mexican folk monster that sucks the blood of goats and other livestock. Kind of like their version of the Jersey Devil. I believe the name is literally translated, "Goat Sucker".

lol... el chupacabra.

i had this problem and i will tell you right now that teflon is your friend.

[Iceman8446]

In this situation I dont know what I can use the teflon on. I'll put up a link of a picture I took. The air is comming out of where I'm pointing the screwdriver.

Is the leak coming from inside the front, from the hole where the cap screws in?

Either way, I'd de-louse your goats just to be safe

I had the same type problem with my on/off remote hose. I just unscrewed the tank then cranked the on/off all the way in. Then I took a pair of needle nosed pliers and pulled on the pin. It popped right out and I could replace the oring without any problem. Just make sure you lube it before you put it back in.

[Iceman8446]

So it looks like the general consensus is that its the orings and I need to check my goats for lice. I'll just run to my local store and pick up some. Thanks for your help guys.

Some grease might stop the leak without buying a new oring.
