Leak Fix For Any Co2 Gun - Works

shootfish.co.u...
In this video we show how to stop any co2 powered airgun leaking from the co2 bottle. Works really well.
Fixing a CO2 gun leak can be crucial for maintaining its functionality and safety. Here are some general steps you can follow to fix a CO2 gun leak:
*Important Note:* Before attempting any repair on a CO2 gun, make sure you are familiar with the specific make and model of your airgun, and always follow safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any aspect of the repair, it's best to consult a professional or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
1. *Safety First:* Ensure the CO2 cartridge is removed and the gun is not loaded with any projectiles. Treat the airgun as if it is loaded at all times and observe all safety precautions.
2. *Locate the Leak:* Determine where the leak is coming from. Common areas include the CO2 cartridge seal, valve seals, O-rings, or other connection points.
3. *Check the Cartridge:* Ensure the CO2 cartridge is not damaged or pierced. If it's damaged, replace it with a new one.
4. *Inspect Seals and O-Rings:* Inspect the seals and O-rings in the gun's valve system. If any are damaged or worn out, replace them with suitable replacements. Lubricate the O-rings with silicone-based oil or grease before reassembly.
5. *Tighten Connections:* Check all threaded connections, such as the CO2 cartridge housing, and ensure they are properly tightened. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage threads or seals.
6. *Seek Professional Help:* If you cannot identify or fix the leak, or if you are uncomfortable with making these repairs yourself, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a qualified airgun technician for assistance.
Remember that CO2 guns can be dangerous if not handled properly, so prioritize safety throughout the repair process. Additionally, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for your specific airgun model.

How about the manufacturer use better quality parts so the customer doesn't have to modify their products inorder to use them.

[@Mechanicalcircus]

That would nice but they couldn't care less quality cuts into their already enormous profit margins! We have to stop giving them our money.

[@josueavila5210]

[@shanec3246]

That would mean a more expensive gun. The question you should be asking is "why do I buy cheap stuff and expect great quality?"

[@bleikrsound6127]

Tip - cut a slingshot band (flat type) slightly larger than the c02 tip, which will loosely stick to the tip with oil applied. After the first c02 makes a seal, you should be able to use quite a few before having to change out the rubber. Retail slingshot rubber is probably the highest quality available.

[@mrhalfstep]

Automatic Transmission reconditioning fluid will sometimes fix this problem. Many times the problem is caused by leaving a spent or nearly spent cartridge in the gun for an extended time. The piercing pin seal will take on the shape of that cartridge's neck and hold the shape. When a cartridge of a slightly different shape is put in, the seal doesn't make contact all around and you get a leak. The AT seal conditioner can be applied liberally to the seal and left for a few days and it will soften and relax back to its original shape. Always remove your cartridge when finished shooting, even if there is gas left in it, and just tighten the cartridge until the hiss stops, not over tight. It will keep the seal leak free. A drop of light oil or Pellgunoil on the neck will keep all the other seals in good shape.

Cut a tiny slither of silicone tubing (aprox 5mm dia I think) and make a new seal. 6 inches of tubes makes a heap of seals

[@pws3rd170]

I've had a $30 1911 bb gun sitting in a drawer for years, I always thought the issue was the metal tube itself, but I'll try this in a few hours when I get back home Update: no luck

Putting a little Vaseline AROUND the neck of the Co2 cartridge sealed mine up just fine. Do NOT PUT VASELINE ON THE END of the Co2 cartridge, if you do, it WILL end up inside the valve and screw up the gun. JUST put the Vaseline AROUND the neck of the tip.

Thanks for the info on the PTFE tape when I first screwed it in it squirted for 3 secs but once I continued to screw it in it stopped. Thanks so much. I wasted two CO2 cartridges prior to finding your video and PTFE, as I screwed pin in and they just leaked like crazy so they were wasted.

I ordered a new Gamo Pellet gun when they were on sale last fall. When the weathrr warmed up this spring i took it out for its first shots. As soon as i tightened the co2 cartridge it started leaking. I tightened it as tight as I dared. I just figured it was a C note down the drain. I'll give this a try.

[@pineconewhisper]

Just got home with my brand new Glock 19 BB gun (last one in stock and it’s illegal to order online here in ny) and I get home and the co2 just shoots down the barrel no matter if I press the trigger or not

[@ShootfishProductions]

Does the co2 fit in a removable mag? If so it should be fairly easy to fix. Sounds like the main valve isnt closing properly. Without co2 in press the pin on the valve and squirt some silicone oil in around the pin while holding the pin down. The pin is where the hammer hits and releases a burst of gas. If that doesnt work the valve assembly will need removing and new o rings fitted. If the co2 fits straight in the gun and doesnt come out with the mag, the gun will need stripping to get the valve out. Hope this helps. We will be making a video soon about co2 leaks.

[@desertdog01]

Cheers!!!

[@aladdinkrogh]

I think that is why retailer always try to you sell oil. It needs oil on the sealing

[@biggusdickus5986]

I oiled my co2 bulbs religiously but still the seals went on my webley MVI after 5 co2 bulbs, and same with my Colt saa peacemaker and l always removed them after a shooting session that lasts around 30 to 40 mins, so l wonder if the pelgun oil isnt just a market strategy because it aint proved much use up to now.

[@ShootfishProductions]

I think the design of these guns is flawed. They should put the seal on the co2 bulb, then you have a new seal every time, bit like the ptfe tape method.

[@TheArthurfonzarelli]

I think it says when you get to the baby seal, it must be clubbed.

[@darrensutton87]

Make sure you double tap it 😂

[@chopsddy3]

I had to come back and tell you. I just got two out of commission guns working. I had to use duct tape, but they’re working. I’m a little peeved at the makers of these guns. I believe the piercing point needs to be more robust. They seem to be breaking from being frozen when a cartridge that still has co2 in it is expelled for storage. I think waiting until the gun has time to warm up before removing the exhausted cartridge may help alleviate this problem. I’m not enthusiastic about buying another to test the theory though. Any way you slice it , a close look at those piercing nubs indicates that they’re too soft and weak. They look like brass. Stainless would be a better option. I do enjoy these guns, but I’m not buying a new one every year because they malfunction. It could be beneficial to contact these companies and inform them of the problem and a reluctance to purchase more until the problem is remedied. The peckerwoods aren’t getting another dime from me unless something is done.
