    the seals have aparently gone bad in the regulator on the top of my fresh air (not the co2) bottle. it won't hold pressure for more than a day. anyone else experience this and if so , where can i send it to get it rebuilt?

    Bruce,
    if there's Any Diving shops in your area, try them first.

    bottle

    hey Bruce, I get my bottle filled at a fire bottle supply store, when mine started leaking they repaired it in house. Make sure you always leave a little bit of air in the bottle or the seals will go bad again and again.

    Bruce,

    If it's the bottle from Barry's car as Matt said you need to get to a fire supply store. I needed seals for it 3 yrs. ago and went to a local store that supplies fire extinguishers and equipment to fire departments.
