Need help air ride leaking air
My air tank is not holding air. Over night I would lose the whole 150psi that's stored in there. I found some fittings to be leaking so I took them off and put new Teflon tape on and put them back on. I'm still losing air but at a slower pace. The leaks seem to be coming from the fitting. Alot of the air ride guys say don't use Teflon tape but most other ppl say I should. Now after the install I have all these leaks I want to take it out and reseal everything.
My question is, is there anything better or does the job of Teflon tape? Seems like my problem is the Teflon tape is not sealing correctly. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

why would you not use teflon tape?? air would excape EVERYWHERE if you didnt use it.
You can use the paste.. i used it and it works good too.. just i hate how messy it got... so i cleaned it up and reverted back to tape.
are you sure its leaking from the fittings? Try some water|Soap mix and spray the area to locate where its leaking exactly.
