Gas leak, agggggg

[Artwood]

ok, just bought a wgp 2003 autococker, and now ive just got a drop forward for it, a 32 degrees universal one to be exact, now then, i put everything together and all that, and turn the gas on, and what happens, the gas seems to be coming out of the very fron of the gun, u know all those little pipe things, well its coming from the very front one, the big black on, where the hose is going in, is that a fault with the thread or is it serious? or do i just use tape? lol
And also, whats the best thing to use to seal threads other than locktite, just incase i want to change something.
Thanks
Craig

Locktite is fine as long as you use the blue (weak) loctite you'll be ok. DONT USE RED LOCTITE or you will never get the bugger apart again :) Anyway, as for the leak, sounds like it's leaking from the low pressure reg's nipple. You just need to work out if it's leaking between the nippe and the reg, or between the pipe and the nipple. Use a bit of soapy water on it and see where the bubbles come from. Then just a case of taking the pipe off and unscrewing the nipple, then putting the nipple back on with a bit of loctite and letting it set for an hour or so before gassing it back up.

Let us know if you need more help,
