Soapy water works better than my "hand-o-meter" to identify leaks. With all the noise + vibration, I held my hand on it and swore it was leaking from tube fittings. I should have used soapy water initially.

After more investigation and getting 3 new stainless lines, it turns out that the was really coming from the threaded fitting. Like charlie99 mentioned! Thankfully, the compressor comes with extra washers so I replaced the deteriorated washers and I'm up and running. I did not have a water...

Sorry for the delayed update but I have 3 SBCA tanks and I wait until all tanks are below 3000 psi before another refill session. Here is what happened, I removed the leaking tube and re-installed it with a flare nut wrench. It is cranked down tight, however there is still leaking. As you...

One shot kill with JSB 18.1 dome pellet, ~50 yards away in a tall tree.

The only thing Dead is a critter 🐗 with a .20 caliber wound channel !

The Crosman Premier .20 in the brown box is a fine pellet and economical. I recall having to wash them first to clean off the residue. Cheers to .20 cal !

Back in the 80s I would read the articles in the Beeman catalog and Robert was a big proponent of 20 cal. Decades later, I bought the German spring rifles I wanted as a kid. I kind of regret selling my Beeman R9 in .20 cal. it has smashed plenty of pigeons before I got into PCPs. Now, I only...

I took the leaking tube apart today, it came off easily. The ferrule creates the seal against the SS tube, I get it. Don't have time to reassemble and test the compressor tonight, UFC fight is calling my name. Let you know what happens when I get around to it. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks for all the wise guidance. From everything I have heard, I should never over tighten any part of the Yong Heng. I did not notice any teflon tape on this fitting. Glad to know it is OK to use it airgunner1042 . It was hot after topping off 3 tanks so I'll disassemble it when I get the...

My Yong Heng compressor has ~9 hours runtime and it has developed an air leak. When it was new, I recall getting a max fill of ~4300psi into SCBA 45min tank. Lately it has been around 4000psi before the auto-shut off triggers. Today, I felt air blowing from this fitting (circled in red), I...
