Kayfun Bell Cap leaking

[SKYYcamel]

I just got my Bell Cap for my kayfun Lite V2 from fasttech ($4.25 Kayfun Bell Cap Kit w/ 510 Drip Tip - acrylic + stainless steel / ohm logo at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping) and it's leaking from the top when I turn it upside down and fill it. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

I've never had any problems with mine leaking. It may be a problem with an oring. Make sure all are tight and present, make sure all other parts are tight. Might also try another cap to see if it's any better. I've had my bell caps for a couple of years now, but when I got mine, included was a plug to use in place of the drip tip when inverting to fill. If you can't find a fix, pm me, I have an extra I can send you.

So that's what that is for?!?!?! I couldn't figure out what that was!

Yep. Took me awhile to figure out what that thing was for also.

Many bell caps from FT comes with a Sillicone plug to plug tge catch cup.

Yep. Thats the Sillicone plug i mentioned in an earlier Post.

I've never used the plug. I've just thrown them away when I get them out of the package mine never leak when filling.

Is this oring present?

No it's not. However, that o-ring doesn't show in the Fasttech pic either.

The chimney "pipe" slides up into that oring creating the seal. I would google it to see what size oring it is. There's supposed to be one in there.

If yours is the same style that I'm using of course.

Does your chimney pipe have an o-ring as well? I can't tell from the pic.

 

[oplholik]

I can see the o-ring in there, Yes, it definitely needs that o-ring.

If you look at the Provari pic, there's two orings. One is on my driptip and the one under it is the one inside the bell cap.

That's the o-ring that mine has. I refilled it today using the white rubber plug and it didn't leak. I guess I just need to keep it upright when I use it. Thanks to both of you for the help.

No problem. Glad to help.
