Leaking!

[DarkHope]

Alright, I just got my AIR rebuilt, and about 2 fills later I turn on the tank to about 650psi and it starts leaking from the Realief valve...is there something I can do?...or do I need to get it rebuilt again?

Okay theres a few things you can do to fix this problem.

1.fill slower (that little red doughnut can't take a bunch of pressure all at once)

2.when your filling up, without any paint in your gun when filling if it starts to leak again dry fire a couple of shots and it shall stop.

3.while filling if pressure is too much back out your set screw.(Granted you'll have to reset it again, but just remember at what you had it set at before and it's simple)

and there ya go.

all of these are temporary fixes for a bigger problem.


if the reg is creeping up when you fill it you have damaged o-rings in the regulator that need replacement. This means a rebuild of the reg.

note: My fixes were just intended to be quick fixes during like a practice where you don't have time to sit down and rebuild.
