Re: Solenoid LEDs not on / VEX Base Leak

Sravan.....(I know you are a mentor and not a student...I would never ask to skype w/ a student directly)....Do you have skype? (Please answer only in a PM).

There are problems, and I'd like to help you get them sorted out quickly in real time (as I know your time is very short w/ Tuesday night coming very fast)....They did not teflon tape a number of threaded fittings at the compressor and the pressure relief valve Pic #4 (Fix those firstly, and always back that check valve at the compressor w/ a wrench not allowing it to turn).

That "T" at Tank #2 (right hand tank in the pic), in Pic #1 needs at least a 1" longer pc. of tubing (The tubing between the "T" and tank you cannot even see). Harder to remove from those fittings too! That will leak always!

The 3 potential leaks or more at the compressor (it appears they left out the teflon tape at the following threads.....Compressor Check Valve to "T"...."T" to bell (though I cannot see that too well in pic #4), Bell to Brass Pressure Relief Valve...NOTE: Make sure that no teflon tape gets on the end with the hole or beyond the end of the threads or in the actual bell reducer...That could plug up the hole in the pressure relief valve!

OK, then follow the hose to the first "T" and 1st (left Clippard tank)....Remove and replace that tube w at least / 1" longer tube between tank/T.
