arg troubles with CO2 tank +reg.
 

I can't seem to get an air tight seel between the regulator and the co2 tank...There was a rubber ring which it said to use to help seel it (put it between the reg and co2 tank) which i did after some trouble - the nut would barely slide over the threads with the rubber ring around it. So I got it on and tightned it with a wrench and co2 is still getting out (quite a bit). I am assuming they will have the rubber O-rings a HD or Revy right? Does anyone have any suggestions (I got the co2 tank from JL and reg from SWC)?...Oh yah my bubble counter is broked, any idea where to get one? THanks.

how tight is the connection? I have to really crank on mine. I also have a teflon gasket, not an O-ring...

I got my stuff from the same places and I got a teflon gasket with the regulator too ... check the box and see

Cheers

Ok, excuse my ignorance but what is a teflon gasket .... i got what looked like a rubber ring...put that on it was a tight fit and when i took it of it shredded...

Looks like a white plastic ring about 1/2" diameter ( guess )

Cheers

ok I'll take a look, I only saw a black rubbery one (what is the black on for then? I wrecked it trying to get the nut over it)..If it's not there I am assuming its available at HD?

not there...would telflon(sp?) tape work?

No. You can use some to ease the threading, but you need the gasket, AFAIK.

Ask Jason to mail you out a couple of them ... it should have been there anyway

Cheers

That black o ring was probably for your bubble counter. It seal's the top plate on the bubble counter. As the other guys have mentioned, mine too had a plastic/teflon washer that goes in between the tank and regulator.
When I got my regulator I had 2 of them ziptied to the regulator unit.
