Well first off try the tank o-ring it can't hurt. Usually you can't see damage to urethane orings.

had the same problem. the asa connector to the macro line and take it out then put some tephlon tape on it and screw it back in. you can use an allen wrench to take the connector out

hey now don't tear him apart, alot of people don't even know what teflon tape is...people who don't work on their own guns have no idea what it intails.

You can get teflon tape at any hardware store. You want pure dupont teflon.

DO NOT use teflon tape on your marker!

Little shreds of it can come loose and get into your Solenoid and ruin it.

If your bottle is leaking, it's the o-ring even it if looks ok. If it's an air fitting, use Teflon Paste, NOT the tape.

Just a friendly FYI to save you from killing your noid

Hrm, guess I gotta re-do my guage plug and my reg fitting...pain in the ***. I just got the gauge plug to seal correctly, too.

I have the same problem right now. The funny thing is my fiance's Quest has been running fine for some time now. It's setup to run on LP but lately everytime I use my LP tank it has a low leak at the same fitting area on the ASA. I found out that when I use the HP tank the leak stops. I'm guessing it needs an adjustment on the LPR and HPR. I'll find out this weekend at the field. I hope my it's not the LP tank reg or worse.
