All,
I purchased a couple used HP100's last week. I haven't had a chance to use them yet.
Last night I set up my rig on one tank and put it in the closet ready to go. The din regulator was screwed into the thermo valve but the valve was turned left on. I did check the pressure and it was 3500 psi even.
I came home earlier in the afternoon and it was fine. However I just walked in (from getting the other tank filled ironically) and I heard a hissing noise from the closet!
There is a tiny tongue of purple plastic sticking out between the valve and the tank and a steady stream of air is slowly hissing out where the tongue is.
Does anyone know what happened?
I emailed the guy I bought them from and hopefully he can be honest if this tank has some sort of history... its a fairly new worthington.
I'll bring it to a LDS for service in a few days but I'm annoyed enough now to want to know what happened. Maybe the hissing noise has me stressed out
I've attached a few photos of the hard purple plastic goop.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Eric
