Double Solenoid Leak

Hey, everyone. I've heard a lot of people talking about how they left out the groove bit when putting together their double solenoids to slow the leaking, which is what our team did, but has anyone actually gotten it to stop leaking all together? Also, is it legal to use old double solenoids? Thanks very much!

Yes there is a rule that says you can use previous year's solenoids.

Re: Double Solenoid Leak

Where is the leak? If it is fittings, make sure you used the right wrap of teflon tape and that the fittings are tight.

Also, when you assembled the solenoids, did you use the thin or thick gasket.
Only the thicker one works.

We have not done a full leak check but I don't think we have leaks there.
