most pilots dont come with teflon tape on that connection.......all you have to do is go to your local pro shop and get them to put teflon tape on that part that screws in.......or you can just go to a store and buy the tape and put it on yourself

My imagine was leaking where the line met the asa a while ago. Just put some of that lock tight tape stuff on the leak and you'll be fine.

You can get teflon tape at any hobby shop or hardware store or automotive store. In fact, if you ask your dad, there is a good chance you have some at home. Here is how you do it without twisting your hose. Use a philips head screwdriver to remove your asa (the part that you screw your tank into) from your trigger frame. THen remove the hose from both the asa and your gas through grip (handle in front). Now you should have the hose completely seperate. Tear off about 8-10" of teflon tape and wrap it around the threads of one end, and tear off any tape that is covering the hole. Then tighten that end into your gas through. You need to tighten it to your gas through first to prevent from twisting your hose up. Once you have it very tight on your gas thru, put tape on the other end and attatch it tightly to your asa. You may now have to try and rotate your asa a little bit well tightening the hose, to make it line up with the grip frame. Then attatch your asa back onto your grip frame and your done. Teflon tape works wonders, and you should always have some in your toolbox. If you don't have any now, you may even be able to run to your corner convenience store, they have lots of emergency automotive stuff.
