New to me Element Max, I'm at the gun range, going to try out a few slugs. I take 3 shots, fill port starts leaking air. So for the rest of the time there I shot teathered or at least with the fill probe plugged in.
I get home, remove the gage, remove the tank. Valve is in the assembly on the gun. Make up a special screw driver & pull the valve out. Measured everything up as best as I could and ordered some orings and replacement parts from The Pellet Shop.
Orings got here first, cleaned everything up, installed oring amd aired the Max up to 1200 to look for leaks. So far so good.
Had to make up a special screw driver, has a slot to clear the valve stem. Orings are
5mm OD, 1.5mm tkns, 2mm ID. The original oring was so hard I thought it was molded nylon.
Let me know if you need an oring, I have 49 left.

Have a good day y'all
Mike

Thanks Archer.

It's been a couple hours and pressure's holding steady so I'll put it up to 2500. I'll leave it there for a while, I just got word that my 600cc tank is on the way

I have a Element Max in 58 I bought from a fellow member here and when I received it-it was holding air but when I tried filling it I couldn't get the probe out and had to release all the air called the guy he said it had been in his closet for a year so the oring had stuck I cleaned the residue off the seat area and called Bin and he sent me the parts to repair it with a couple extra orings, Bins a great guy. It's holding air and a Beast shooting 440gr HPs around 784fps.
