I had a guy come by with a leaky Discovery.
Leaked back out the fill fitting.
Turned out to have a bad check valve O-ring
Exactly the same as the poly O-ring I put on the brass bolt probe that I make for Crosman 2200.
Installed it and filled her up to the sweet sound of silence from the fill port.........
Nothing like a 5 minute repair..........better to be lucky than good........

You can lead a man to water, but you can't keep him from urinating in it.

Nothing like a quick easy fix especially for a PCP! Nice job!
