    Posted: 24 March 2007 at 3:06pm
When ever i screw in my co2 tank it leaks near the tombstone latch.


4. Why does my marker leak near the upper gas line connection?
Damaged fitting on the gas line - There may be bad threads on the fitting or gas line allowing the air to come out around them. If the threads look good, they may need to be re-sealed. Use Teflon™ tape or Loc-Tite™ on the threads to help seal them. 


I dont know what the threads are so i was wondering if anyone could help me.

Thank you

First off are you hooking your tank into your tombstone or your asa?

Second is it leaking 1.from inbetween the body an tombstone or 2. the airline (if you have one) and the tombstone? 

If its leaking from the threaded part in the tombstone make sure the oring isnt damaged and is oiled.

I am having a hard time explaining this.

change the o-ring on the part that goes onto the tombstone adapter and oil it up.
