Q:

Bobcat .25

Hi all;
I have just bought a new bobcat .25 . A great gun i know. But i faced a problem with filling it with air. When i fill it to 220 bar and bleed the area between the gun and the tank , the gun leaks around 50 to 60 bars. Is that common?!
And is there a way to solve it?

Thanks in advace

if its losing air through that… its easy fix… just pull you stock off and remove the fill adapter and there should be some sort of one way valve … maybe something jamming it… could be a bad oring.. i wouldn’t send it back for that. Make AOA walk u through it on the phone if you have to.

Thanks dman1114… I tried giving it few minutes to cool down after very slow fill . still, the gun lost around 10 bars, which is very acceptable to me. A geat gun to shoot. So very quiet .

Thaks to all again , really appreciate your help

Thanks all.. Yes SECoda that how the gun loses air, through the bleed line

I think he is saying maybe it immediately loses 50-60 bars as he bleeds the line – instantly. That is a problem maybe with the one-way fill valve.

Give us a bit more info Adham. 😕 Return it may be good advice given the nature of working on Bobcats.

As Zonkster mentioned, a “hot” fill will lose pressure as the fill air cools. After reaching ambient air temperature, it should go no lower.

It’s not normal for a well made, working, pcp to leak air at all.

Not all forum members share your view on the “greatness” of the Bobcat. It’s had it’s share of problems.

Solving the leak involves examining all parts that utilize an O-ring for air loss, or taking the gun apart, to see if the valve might be loosing air. That can be beyond a lot of owners abilities.

The better solution, If it’s a new gun, is to return it asap, and have the dealer repair the problem, or replace the gun. Don’t let them tell you “…some air loss is normal!” That statement is not accurate.

Hoot:

Adham, are you filling it fast or letting it fill sloooooowly?? After it’s filled does it continue to lose air?
