Re: sealing leaks

As Al says, it's not really difficult. I'd guess that 98% of the pneumatic leaks we get are a result of the tube not being pushed all the way into the fitting.

It's easy to check that...just firmly push in all the tubes, and see if the leaks stop.

Make sure the tubes are long enough, if they are bent to tightly, they will tend to leak, because they can't sit straight in the fitting. If necessary, replace with a longer piece of tubing.
