Leaking magnetic filters...

[mutley racers]

Has anyone come up with a good way of stopping these weeping when they have been serviced but with no new seal. Too many to carry around a seal for all of them.

I have one to go to today which I have not heard of. It is called instinct eco mag. Cannot get a replacement o'ring in time. Cheera

Silicon grease?

The eco mag comes with spare seals in the box, a good guy would leave them with the householder.

What one you found leaking as I haven’t seen a leaky pro 2 yet or the old red sticker

 

[mutley racers]

No they dont they keep hold of them so when they go back they have a replacement if they dont get called back for the service it's someone else's problem mwah ha ha!

Looks like a mag one.

A lot of the cheaper brands are all the same just different names on the side.

Was the top middle part that was leaking. New O'ring on it and now it's all good.

You can but o ring material in 5m lengths quite cheap, simply cut the length you required and glue with cyanoacrylate glue. They even do a little jig for cutting them.

Well I never!

I wouldn’t use for gas obviously or anything high temperature.

Alternatively if you’ve got a oring that’s too big you can cut a bit out of the length and glue.

Can I ask where you got the new O ring from to fix the leaking Instinct Eco-Mag and what size you used.
Thanks

Hi. From an O ring set I had on the van if I remember correctly..

 

[Twinkle22]

Do you remember the size of the O ring you used by any chance?
Thanks

Sorry to post on this thread. Anyone know if you can get a tee with spigots on both ends to put in here... a slip tee?

You have a fernco so should need a slip as I bet you that’s a male tee (no socket)
