First fill and bottle leaking..... I filled my 10lb tnt bottle yesterday, this morning I noticed a heasing sound comming from the fitting where you hook up the blow down tube to...I sprayed water on that one fitting and it bubbles up pretty good....what do I have to do to fix this problem? do I just use teflon tape to seal the threads?

Ill wait till I empty the bottle, remove the blow down fitting and use teflon pase...if that does not work would tnt help me out on this issue?

If it was leaking where the blow off cap tightens to the valve, just try tightening the cap, if that dosent work give me a call on monday and I will get you another one on the way..
