This is what I dislike about tippmanns. They are so awsome, and so upgradable, but I have this one problem with mine.
MY VALVE. I just replaced it, thinking my woes would be fixed for 36$ US. WRONG! The old one leaked, the new one leaks. THat is the only component I can think of to leak. |

Send it to Tippmann, they'll take care of it.

Where is it leaking from? Is it leaking down the barrel? If its not its simply your stainless steel braided line. Whenever you unscrew that line, you need to apply Loctite or Teflon tape to the threads before you put the line back in. So take apart your gun, remove your powertube, unscrew your line, put Loctite or Teflon tape on the threads, screw it back in and it will not leak there anymore.

It was the barrel leaking... Replaced the valve... This morning, I was about to send her on vacation to Tippmann, but took my monkey wrench and twisted for half an hour... After cutting my palm, it was my hose :-P
I apologise for Tippmann, my fault. LONG LIVE TIPPMANN! |
