I leave my Marauder over at my gfs house now since I've been working on the squirrels over there at her dads request... Her dad knows how to use it and he came to the conclusion that it had a leak in it today so he began to try and fix it... Now I have a Marauder with an air tank that I'm unable to get screwed back on properly. Is there a trick to getting it to thread on properly? It always wants to screw in at an angle and I've tried a couple times to get it to go in straight.
This is what it looks like
I didn't think he would go messing with it but he said it was losing pressure real fast, dropping from like 2000psi to <800psi overnight. I can't really be mad at him because it was his money who paid for it! |

Ok, got that back on finally.
Now if there is a leak how would I go about finding out where it is? |

Ok, thanks Kanyon.
I went ahead and pulled the fill adapter and put teflon tape around it to try and seal that better then filled it. Going to let it sit for a day and see how it is. Hopefully that will have fixed it and I won't need to do the soapy water! |

| I won't need to do the soapy water! You make it sound like a big deal...just brush the soapy water on and find out almost immediately if you have a leak and if so, where.!! Water is not going to hurt the gun. |
