Hi there I wonder if any one can help me out with sorting this issue:
I recently setup a FE co2 system with a dual stage co2 art reg and solenoid + needle valve that I bought from a fellow UKAPS member. It took me a few years to finally get round to setting up a co2 enriched tank and unfortunately I have discovered a leak in the area between the solenoid and the needle valve. (The pencil in the attached photo shows the exact location).
I'd been noticing that the working pressure was slowly decreasing whilst the co2 is turned on and the bubble rate has keeps varying too. Out came the leak detector spray and voilà!
Problem is I don't know how to go about fixing it. Before I get my spanners out I'd really appreciate some advice as I don't want to damage things further...
(I have emailed CO2 Art but they may not prioritise me as I bought the equipment second hand)
Any help appreciated!
