Default question about the bottle

i took my n20 bottle toa carbutique and got it refilled. i got home and test fitted it but now it leaks from the head. wtf did they do wrong? did they forget to put a rubber seal or gasket or something in the head assembly?

it is not leaking from where the line is connected, its leaking from where that big *** nut is, where the line connects to

anyone know if there is sopposed to be a seal or gasket?

What type of bottle do you have, NX, NOS, TNT, etc.
NOS style requires a teflon washer which makes the seal. You have to periodicly tighten them, and somtimes during refilling that nut slightly loosens.
NX,TNT,ZEX do not use a washer the bottle nipple has a spherical end which creates the seal.
Hopefully that helps.
