Tom Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Is it just me or are these a bit pants? the first one leaked and now so does the second one! they both leak on the outlet side where that little blanking plug is on the side. I've got a pressure gauge in it which i thought i'd overtightened so i put ptfe tape on it and only nipped it on the second one and now that's leaking too. anyone help?
mk1mexico Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Hmm mines been ok, iv been told not to run the pressure guage constantly though
mk1mexico Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Not because of leaks i think it was related to the accuracy of the guage after so long under pressure. May be an old wives tale
BudgieV8 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Just going to fit mine to the V8, so will be watching this. BTW - Where can you get the filters from as mines a bit cruddy? (Sorry to highjack the post with that Q )
petrolhead Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Hello Tom, I've got to say mine is probably the only thing that doesn't leak on my car. I used red gasket sealant on all of my threads after I used PTFE which didn't work for me either. I've also been told not to run the pressure gauge permanently but I do. I got mine from Steve Law at Speed Shack. matt
Tom Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 i'll probably take it off and get that plug welded up, i'm not paying out for a 3rd one
Noodles Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 The only probs iv had with them is trying to get it open
