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.

like when you aired it up? Was it just the air filling the hoses? |
