BLEED VALVE LEAKING On ONE OF MY TANKS
- Thread starter RAMJET66
- Start date
I was told people screw there on valves up by cracking down way to tight on the valve.
A person with training lightly tightens the valve down,
I know this does not help with the damage done , But in the future think about it.
Just FYI,
Mike

Try to unscrew the knob of the bleed valve out, there should be a white plastic washer inside doing the seal. The hole of the washer must have been widened due to excessive force used when closing the bleed valve. Just replace the washer and you will be back to business again.

My JB great white did the same I also thought it was the bleed vavle. It was the other side try to tighten the nut on that side. I removed mine there is a seal in there I wrapped the threads with Teflon tape been fine after that hope this works for you. Bob
