Hey Guys,
I've got 3 PCP's with very slow air leaks. Two are QB79's and one BAM B50. They leak about 1,000 PSI per week and
seem
to stop leaking at about 100 bar - I think
.
So with my inconsistent a hand pump, it's been a constant pain.
However, recently I purchased an Xisco pump from
Wes
via
Travis's
research.
Because I've done many mods on all of the above guns, I hate to tear them apart
again
to figure out if the valve o-rings, bottle adapter o-rings of the valve poppet itself is leaking - or a combination thereof?
I'm thinking of just pumping them up at least once per week (2/5 min) or after a shoot, instead spending hours doing frustrating rebuilding in search of the leaks?
I think I'm getting Lazy
.

I've definitely let some very slow leaks sit until I had another excuse to tear into the gun, but 1000 psi a week would probably be enough for me to at least determine where the leak is and decide from there.

From my own experience if its that slow its typically a foster fitting leak or leaking threw the gauge. Pump them full and then spray with soapy water and see if you find it, if not its a slow valve leak or gauge leak under the glass. I hate leaks....
