Myth Reg Leaking

[viirkokka]

I have a Myth Reg on an aluminium 0.8 bottle, and at my last walkon it developed a bit of a leak. I was wondering if there is any information/advice on replacing the O-ring for it? I've never "operated" on a bottle before..

Edit: typo in the title, it's obviously Leaking, although the former could be interesting.

out of the small hole under the guage?

im not sure if it's coming from the small hole under the guage, but there's a noticeable and constaant hissing sound, the best way for me to describe it is it's underneath the threading that attaches to the gun

 

[spangley_special]

well, if it is coming from the small hole, that is the myth equivalent to an lp burst disk.

If not then I dont know tbh.

Best bet would be to give GA an email or call they have been very helpful in all my dealings with them.

by burst disk do you mean some sort of leaking that is meant to be there? if so, i don't think it is that, since ive had the bottle almost a year and it only started doing this recently

Not sure if its still the accepted thing to do, put place the reg under sme water and find out where exaclty its leaking from

 

[Tom Allen]

poke it into a glass full of water, you'll see where the leak is then.

An LP burst disk is a safety measure to stop the high pressure air going into your marker if the reg starts leaking. Myths have an oring instead, but it serves the same purpose. That's what Spangley is referring to. If it IS leaking from that hole, then your reg needs a service.
