FX carbon fiber air tank valve leak repair

Showing you how i repaired the air leak in the valve in the bottleneck of my FX carbon fiber airtank

[@OH8STN]

Catching up on all your maverick videos. Your effort is greatly appreciated

[@Airbuks]

Thx buddy

[@astawfik30]

When I did mine the hardest part was to remove the valve. Which was Loctited, with black Loctite. I think you should mention this and would be better if you will show how to remove the valve without a purpose-made tool. Apart from these, great video as usual.

[@Airbuks]

Hi , my valve had no loctide on it , I have heard from others that there was loctide on there’s aswel , strange there is no need for loctide on it 🤔 I first tried to remove it without the tool but I say quickly that I couldn’t open it without damaging it or leaving marks on it .

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Good point , you are dealing with carbon fiber , you can’t heat it without possibly compromising the carbon tank !

[@thakurnileshprakashsingh]

Thank you very much for make it easy for us.

[@Acutus3399]

Very cool to see how these things work! Thanks for the demo!

The PCP world is growing very fast , I know first hand just with volume & Tire pressure in tires with up to 120 psi how deadly they can be and can kill ! we are dealing with bottles in the 4,500 psi range in the PCP world , it’s no longer handled through scuba shops who know how to test and fill these air containers ! Every time I fill one of my portable tanks I am aware of how dangerous it can be ! It’s so easy to overfill at a higher pressure while transferring from a 4500 psi compressor into a 3000 or 3500 psi PCP tank ! Enjoy the sport but realize what you are dealing with , it’s just like a loaded gun with the safety off ! Nice video and repair tool you made ! 👍

[@donaldlemens9254]

If anyone uses or continue to use the Huma quick fill adapter, you will have this same problem over and over. They now send a restrictor screw to use But it won't work either, it may work once or twice. Using the Huma blows the valve seat out of its seat, sometimes no damage to oring just reseat but sometimes the same as the video. When the bottle is screwed on the gun for filling the valve is pushed open allowing easy air transfer in either direction, using the Huma only high pressure air has the force the valve open thus unseating the valve seat. Bestfittings is working on one that will work simulating as when on the gun.

There's lots of videos showing the rebuild of the valve but none show replacing the Oring that seals it to the rifle.

[@chefrenty9155]

Nice video, wel explained and very helpfull as allways 👍. May I ask,what do you use for lubrication of the o-rings? Will Ballistol do the job or is any silicone oil better? Thanks in advance.

[@Airbuks]

Thx for the support, I use silicon olie from Huma Air .

How to bleed out the air entirely in the tank? Without shooting ofc. Good video btw.

[@monkyshine5543]

Good training for me thanks.

[@junardburigsay7846]

What's the simplest way to bleed the air if the bottle has pressure in it

[@Airbuks]

Option 1 :Huma air sells adapter to fill a CF bottle but you can also use it to bleed the bottle Option 2: saber tactical sells a kit to bleed and remove the valve Option 3 : and the most cheap one , find a bold that can be threaded into the neck slightly file it down one one side so the air can escape slowly . Gently thread it on so the valve pushes open and let the air escape slowly. REMEMBER BEING SAFE , MAKING A TOOL LIKE THIS AND USING IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK

[@bashImpact]

good one.

[@wernerherrmann]

Thank you. great video. I have a leak from the breather hole near the safety. I know the origin is the reg. I have replaced all the o-rings. And recently purchased a service kit and replaced the delrin rod and adjuster screw. Still it leaks from the breather. Any advice? Thank you

I just starting noticing a small leak when the bottle is attached.. any ideas ? Two bottles so its not the bottles o-ring.

[@Airbuks]

Replied in your othe comment

[@franckbecanfayeboue4877]

Great Video. Is it recommanded to put some loctite on the threads going to the inside of the cf tank, or shall we just snug it up?

[@Airbuks]

Thx , mine didn’t have any loctide on it from the factory. So I don’t think it’s needed . There is a oring in the neck to seal it and the pressure on the inside will make it impossible to unscrew.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

I don’t see the point of loctite if an o-ring is used to seal the air , if anything anti- seize might be better ! Tanks unlike mechanical moving parts on nuts and bolts should not require loctite .

[@marioreyes548]

Excellent Video, where do i can buy the O ring that you change? Do you know wich number of part is ir? Thanks

[@Airbuks]

Thx 👍🏻 you can by these orings anywhere I guess , it’s a very common item/size . The correct size is mentioned in the video , I don’t know it by heart 😉

I am having trouble replacing the O'ring inside the bottle valve, is there a trick to it?

[@Airbuks]

Not really a trick , some patients and a blunt tool to manipulate it in place 🤷‍♂️

[@KnowsleyVerminControl]

@@Airbuks it is really difficult to replace i have been trying for so long

[@Airbuks]

@@KnowsleyVerminControl push it inward down so you put one side of the oring in the groove , hold it in the groove with a blunt object ( Allen key for instance) the use another Allen key and push the rest of te oring in the groove

Sometimes you can find boxes at your local hardware shop or your local dive shop might have them aswel . If that is no option there are many online shops that sell orings

Bonjour , taille des orings ?

Hi , English? All the oring sizes are specified on the support page of FX Airguns

[@813946]

Its another oring inside the treaded part of valve that connects to impact why didn't you show that its the hardest oring to replace on CF bottle

[@Airbuks]

I didn’t show that because mine didn’t fail there , but with a dental pick it’s not that hard to do . Just some patience 😬

[@sergeantmao8017]

? For you man, I have issues with top valve connection o rings blown out how do I put a new one in I have no clue where it suppose too sit in.

[@Airbuks]

Can you explain more detailed or mail me some pictures ( [e-mail] )

[@sergeantmao8017]

What I’m trying too address is that trying too see where does the O rings seat in. Reason I ask that I took it off and try too replaced it but forgotten where it supposed too seated in. This is referring too bottle thread into the gun it self. O ring got blown off and leak air. If you can help me out I would appreciated it. Again valve bottle thread o ring installation location. If you have clear pictures would be awesome

[@Airbuks]

@@sergeantmao8017 so if I get it correct , you need to place the oring in the bottle valve part that screw into the gun ? You can check the diagrams and oring sizes on the FX support website

Yes correct. I had look on FX couldn’t track it down

Installed a power plenum on my impact now air leaks rapidly out of the weep hole fx says the regulator orings need to be re-seated but I did what they said and no such luck. Any ideas ? feal like giving up on this gun and cutting my losses

[@wernerherrmann]

I have the same problem. I even got a service kit and replaced the rod and adjuster. Still leaking through that breather hole.

[@Airbuks]

Hi guys , sad to hear you’re experiencing this issue. Probably you have done this but I am asking it anyway to eliminate some options. 1. When you took the regulator completely out , did you make sure that everything and every surface was super clean before putting it back ? 2. Did you scratch any of the oring surfaces when removing the old orings? 3. Did you also replace the oring down in the regular hole ? Very difficult one to acces and easy to scratch that surface. You need a good pick to poke in the oring and manoeuvre it out ( like dokter bibber game 😉) 4. Did you lube all the orings when putting the new ones one ?

[@wernerherrmann]

@@Airbuks Thank you for the ideas. I'll strip it again a little later and check for any dirt inside. I'll wash it out with 99%Alcohol.

[@Airbuks]

Make sure the alcohol is complete vaporized before assembling as it’s not so kind on orings . I recommend not using anything with alcohol, ballistol is much better for airgun use

[@wernerherrmann]

@@Airbuks Thank you. Well after a lenghty clean, the spit test now reveals no leak, But test will be tomorrow morning. Usually after a few hours, the leak gets bad
