hey i just got a piranha r6 shot it a few times and stoped using it for a while than got back into it and hoocked p my 9 oz tank and the thing was leaking out of the knob just under the barrel so i tightened the thing as much as i could and than hooked up the tank and same thing kept happening

all help is welcome thanks

Can you be more specific? It sounds like you have a worn out o-ring, but you have to give us more details.

steve22 · February 1st, 03:16 PM

thanks

oh I know what's wrong

It's leaking at the front block. Take it off, and replace the oring. they're tank o-rings on most guns.

woah, txaggie turned colors!
yeah that sounds about what's wrong. unless it's that the low pressure chamber is leaking. That's not a tank oring is it?

steve22 · February 2nd, 07:17 AM

the o ring looks just like the one on the tank but ill give that a shot

**txaggie08** · February 2nd, 07:49 PM

It is the one on the tank!

it's the same size. Trust me, it may look right, but I see them all the time that look perfect, yet still leak like a sieve. Replace it and I bet it stops

**txaggie08** · February 2nd, 09:25 PM

steve22 · February 6th, 02:32 PM

**txaggie08** · February 6th, 03:19 PM

Wrap the threads in Teflon tape.

steve22 · February 6th, 07:11 PM

the tape did the trick thanks everyone gun is working great now

***TheAznInvazn*** · February 6th, 09:46 PM

YAY!

Good to know your gun is working.

Always hate having poopie working guns... >.<

**txaggie08** · February 6th, 11:45 PM

Anytime you have threads leaking, replace whatever o-ring is leaking first, if that doesn't work teflon it....If that doesn't work you have a problem

***TheAznInvazn*** · February 8th, 07:27 PM

check your cup seal. That might be it.

**txaggie08** · February 8th, 09:54 PM

Replace the o-rings on the valve as well, the tank rings should work there to. make sure you re-install the valve the way it came out. IM @ driftcav03 me if you need some real time help with this, it's not at all difficult, but can be confusing the first time.

steve22 · February 9th, 07:17 AM

sorry guys her the cup seal and the valve i am a noobie
thank for the help
