Back in September last year, I bought one of this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SCBA-Fill-Station-Charging-Adapter-Hand-Tight-CGA347-for-Paintball-PCP-Air-Rifle/401568527106?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Only difference seems to be that mine does not have the oil filled gauge.

I did not have a tank at the time so I stored it. Now I got a tank and when I tried to use it it leaks air BADLY.

It did not take much to see that seal O-ring was damaged. 

Right there, I remembered somebody here saying that these were junk because it had a white O-ring that would leak..

Guess what color is my Oring?... YES... WHITE..

Well... the question is... where do I get a replacement O-ring and what size and material is best? 
 
An AGN thread on the orange oring fill stations have indicated a quality control issue with those where the metal nipple constantly cuts into the oring, and just replacing the oring does not fix the problem. The fix was to purchase a better quality cga 347 hand tighten fill adapter and swap it out. Here is the thread; https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/fill-station-oring/ Certainly worth a try to find a new oring at your hardware store first, but thought I would prep you for some potentially bad news.


Northshore does sells the orings for their adapter but not sure if they would be interchangeable with your unit, they do have the dimensions listed so maybe you can compare: http://www.northshorecompressor.com/products/CGA-347-Ring-Tips.html

I tried everything and it held up until 2500 psi or so and then the fricking thing starts leaking again

I was trying the cheap way first, called every local supplier and none where too eager to help... I guess not a lot of profit on selling a bunch of o-rings...

Tried the local fire station too, to see if they would help, but no luck either....

Contacted the Ebay selller that sold it to me, and he would sell me 10 for about $13 bucks, but it comes from china and they say 30 to 45 days to deliver, but who the hack knows when I will really get them. Going by previous posts, it seems there is a good chance that just changing the oring will not help, sp probably better to save that money to buy another station that actually works....
