Yes the spring loaded one. Threads were cleaned, 5 wraps of tape.
Can't see a crack in it, could be that the seal on the valve where it opens for an overpressure is leaking, hard to tell definately that it is from the thread rather than the valve. Will see if I can get some dope tomorrow after work. Cheers On Thursday, 10 August 2017 20:19:11 UTC+1, bmacpiper wrote: > > I’m curious how many wraps of teflon tape you used?
