Bottle Leaking!!

[Ion_Paintball]

Hi guys,

Just noticed my bottle is losing pressure... So filled the sink with water and its leaking between the reg and the bottle... where the reg screws in basically..

How should i proceed and what do i do to fix the leak?

Should the reg be easy to removed once the pressure has been dumped or will it still be a struggle?

take it out & re-seat it, but do you have access to air? & only fill it to 1000 then re-test it...

Yer i have dive tanks etc.... Thing is which is the best way to unscrew the reg and i dont seem to be able to budge it by hand

 

[Cliff-In2Deep]

Use a strap or leather belt & if you do use a vice make sure it's well protected...

Run the neck of the bottle under hot water for a couple of minutes, then get a good grip and it should unscrew.
