![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: HP leak from Off-Board gas Hi Guys I tried to avoid this issue in 2 ways 1) crank up the OPV opening pressure way above the IP of my offboard but still well below burst pressure of boris hoses 2) I dont plub my off board into boris instead I plub it into the 2nd stage on my FFM so I add offboard dil by nose breathing |

But this only works if you use a BOV or as in my cae the FFM side reg |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | HP leak from Off-Board gas Thanks. OPV looks the culprit, it just took a long vinager bath and I am getting a tiny leak (IP set at 10.5bar from a recent service), will just get another OPV. I haven't had a chance to check my off board reg yet. Whilst I understand the need to have a cracking pressure of the OPV on the O2 clean side close to IP but on the dil side I fancy pushing it way up, as Mike suggested. Still do not understand why depth triggers the flow and why I can't recreate the problem at home though.... F |
