    Question Leaky Rapid bottles?

    Hello to all,

    I have 2 Rapid 400cc bottles that have recently started leaking, to different degrees.
    I am aware I can return them to Theoben for service, but is there anything I can (safely) try first?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Richard.

    Worth a try is to lower preasure and see if you can possible remove dust of grit that's causes in the leak.

    Best way to reduce preasure is to shoot off Air , then if ball is clean , try a quick blast fill.

    Has worked for me in the past.

    as Bob said,

    plus use the Theoben cap to seal it - more of a work around than a solution, but why not ?

    Other point is that they can't leak on the gun, so if the bottle is only off when refilling, no big deal....

    Jon - unless its a MK 2 - then they will leak on the Gun.

    He doesn't use it for shooting any more......

    Makes a fortune blowing up baloons at kids parties though....
