NEED HELP CO2 leaking

[terpsare1]

I have a spyder compact 2000 and I field stripped it. I went to hook up my tank today and it was leaking air. I felt, and could hear it coming out of the barrel. Can you please help me.

maybe you need a new tank o-ring.....thats about all I can suggest with out a little more detail.....you have to at least give us a fighting chance....it can leak at quite a few places...so you will have to listen carfully and tell us aproximately where you hear it....

Replace all the orings. The one on the tank, the 2 on the bolt and the one on the metal thing under the bolt. Thats what I would do.

Can you please help me. i had the same problem with my BL millenium. you gotta take it apart again and clean the valve. make sure there isnt any dirt or something like that on the o-rings. then oil it up really good and put it back in. that should solve the problem.

[terpsare1]

what is the valve. I am not to familiar with the parts. Thats why i took it apart. I was trying to learn alittle more.

Wait wait!!* if u had a busted tank
o-ring u'd be able to see the CO2 leakin outa yo bottom line hookup. If the CO2 is just comin out the barrel then try replacing just one oring at a time starting at the barrel and like ending at the bolt... each time u replace an o-ring screw in the CO2 tank and listen to c if it's still leakin. This should eventually solve ur problem

Brrel o-ring only prevents the barrel from unscrewin. Has nothing to do with gas flow and sealing

yeah i put one on my J&J 'cuz it always got loose. its not the tank 0 ring, that would loak out of where ever the co2 is connected and if you have a bottom line adapter it'd leak out the little hole in the side, i'd make sure everything is in, it happened to me once, i don't remember what it was though. i just fieldstripped it and it was ok, it i remember correctly

I want to thank everyone for their help. I was able to fix my gun for now. But, I have a new problem. When I screw my tank into my bottom line it shoots out of the joints. How can I fix it? What can I do? Once again, thank you all for your help.

Once again, thank you all for your help. if by joints you mean the threads on the tank or bottomline, then check to make sure that the o-ring on the tank isnt damaged. if it is, replace it and put a little oil on the o-ring as well.

Yes,the tank o-ring seems to be the cause of your new problem.If its not that,try using some teflon tape on the thredings of the bottom line.

[elTwitcho]

If you're talking about joints in the sense of where the hose joins the body, and the screw in tank adaptor, then put teflon tape over the threads on the hose and reassemble it with the teflon tape in place

I had a problem with my o-ring. The one on my CO2 tank tore alittle so I finally found out the problem on my own. Yah I thought. (cuz b4 whenever I took the tank off it would spray like$%!#@) anyways....I put a new O-ring on it and shot 100 rounds in my backyard for practice....(im new you see and I like to have target practice)...then I took off the tank...this is the moment i have been waiting for and it came off great no leakage...at all..just heard alittle shhhhh...but then I looked at the O-ring....it was 3-4 times the size of it when I put it on the dang gun...and super thick too lemme get a pic to show off...it might not be clear though....I was usin the rings I got with my rebel bottomline so I dont think it was the ring...and also has anyone seen this happen on their gun?
