CO2 Leaks
I just noticed a hissing sound from my O2 adaptor. I removed the tank, but did not hear it from tank. Is there anything I can do about it? This is on a 12oz. and 20 oz.
Thanks Glenn

It is leaking from the discharge opening. I knew it was the adaptor, with this kind of problem, is O2 worth it ?

check the o rings make sure they are well lubed. Use pell gun oil. my RWS 850 will always leak when the o rings get dry, oil and the leak stops.
Not to state the obvious, but your adapter is leaking.
It happens, it happened to me as well.
Not sure what can be done, no one as far as I know has posted up any surefire preventative maintenance or fixes for the CO2 adapters.

It’s worth it, but yeah, leaks are a drag when they happen. Not sure why the CO2 valves tend to leak, since it’s basically the same valve that’s used in the HPA tanks.
07Con’s advice is on target, but I wouldn’t use PellGun oil. Put a couple/few drops of liquid silicone in the little hole where the bottle screws onto the adapter, then screw the tank on and dry-fire a couple times. The gas will force the silicone into the housing and ideally lube up whatever is sticking open inside the adaptor.
