leaking mk2 rapid

[FAC CHRIS]

Was going out ratting for a hour lastnight,thought id better fill it up, all went well until i came to screw the bottle back on and the air was leaking out,so i tried on off a couple of times still the same,so ive oreded a seal kit,hopefully this will sort it.

Is it leaking on or off of your Rapid?
Where is it leaking from...

its leaking as i screw the bottle on,im now thinking its opening the valve on the bottle too soon,and passing the oring, going to adjust it later,new seal kit has arrived just in case,  chris

If it is a standard Rapid... a slight puff is normal.
But if it is an MFR... the sealing O-=ring on the stem needs replacing

All sorted it turned out it was the reg the was leaking, it turns out its a rare one,a early all stainless regulator,fitted new seals yesterday, all good, chris

I had a similar issue but it didn't leak when the bolt was in the rear position. Had to make sure the bottle was screwed on tight, metal to metal.
