Liquid Leaking in my Reo

[tmel]

Hey guys,

Every so often when I need to fill up the bottle, there is a pretty large pool of liquid underneath my bottle and I have no idea how its getting there....I really don't want it to get on the battery/spring and cause a short or something.

When I attach the tube/bottle to the reo, I try to get everything lined up and solid so the bottle doesn't rattle and the connection at the top of the tube looks tight.

Anyone else run into this?

Sounds to me like the o ring in your cap is not seated properly . juice wont cause a short no worries there

When you squonk do you see liquid moving in the threads at the top of the bottle. If it's not that check the top of the tube under the delrin block it might not be seated all the way.

Thanks guys...I dont see any juice on the threads of the bottle when I squonk...should my tube able to pulled off with little to no pressure? I don't really feel like its in there very good

The tube attached to the fitting should be real snug not loose at all. Rob often says to us a bit of glue when reattaching it.

Thanks for confirming that....I just put a little super glue on the tube connector and put the tube back on, hopefully thatll help out!

The tubing goes up past the delrin box. If it is not pushed all the way up it will leak. The tube should fit the little nipple firmly. Also make sure your bottle cap is tight enough. Juice can leak if it is not.
