Ion Leaky QEV :)

[RainbowShooter]

Evening guys, Right where the QEV goes into the breach I have screwed up the threads in the breach (QEV is fine) I have tried using PTFE tape and that lasts about 1000 shots before the leak comes back. Any ideas on it rarther than buying a new front breach section

Few helpers found on the dreaded PBN:

N - A leak from the middle 1/8 Banjo Fitting quick disconnect (or QEV quick disconnect) can be caused by a bad hose. Remove the Banjo Fitting and make sure the hose end is intact and cut straight. Make sure the hose bottoms out inside the banjo's quick disconnect. Try cutting 1mm off the end of the hose to shorten it up. This will create some tension pulling on the hose and letting the quick disconnect seal up. A quick disconnect will not seal properly if the hose is being pushed into it.

O - A leak from the middle 1/8 Banjo Fitting threads can be caused by a worn out or damaged banjo seal. Replace the banjo oring with a 1.5x3mm oring. Check to make sure it is not cross threaded and there is no debris around the breech inlet port. Screw it in finger tight. If it still leaks, replace the banjo fitting. If using a QEV try using a 08/90 oring or alot of teflon tape. When using teflon tape, do not allow any near the air port, keep it all on the threads.

P - (QEV only) A leak from the QEV exhaust port can be caused by a damaged QEV. Replace it. A small amount of air will be exhausted from this hole during firing when the bolt moves to a closed position. This is normal.

Throw some loctite on it for a giggle and see what happens
I'd Recommend Loctite 243

Yeah told him that on msn

Steve stop getting your post count up

But seriously is the only option new front breach yus?

You could use some nail varnish,not as permanant as Loctite.But if you decide to use Loctite,get the thread lock type(blue stuff)

243 is a dark blue colour, I use it at work for laptops.
Its a strong hold, but can be removed with a screwdriver, no heating nessecary.
Think the banjos use allen keys, the leverage on those would make it even easier to remove.

Now if I said something like 680, and told him to put it on his grip screws, THAT would be funny.

Hey not far off the mark, try 242 its lighter and easier to get off. That loctite is designed to seal and come off again. ptfe tap on an internal air fitting, its realy best avoided as its made from asda bags, doesn't last long and can block up internal airways.

Meh, it is a pretty nasty leak.
I was standing about 2-3m away from him going eh? whats that sound?
