At Haggard my tanaka M10 started leaking from the gas filling point, has anyone else experienced this if so how do you fix it?
Yup, had it on a few pistols.
There are two O rings you need to look at. The first seals the body of the valve to the gas tank, the second is a *tiny* O ring that sits in the filling valve. There's two ways of dealing with this, both of which require disassembling the valve:
Option 1:
Remove both the O rings, then stick 'em in a beaker of ATF overnight, causing them to swell a little bit, then clean them off and refit.
Option 2:
Spend 4 days looking through RS components website to find the right size O rings....

Thanks for the info, I think I'll try option 1 first
i managed to fix gadge's M10 purely by holding the fill valve down and spraying in a tiny amount of silicon lubricant, then leaving it a while.
Thanks DM that's just gone to the top of the list, always do the easy thing first
Before trying the last fix warm the mag up so the silicon gas expands and shuts the valve

Yeah, it's a lovely little gun. i run it on .30g BB's tho, as the hop seems to like them better.
Couple of good reviews will do me...I'll get one then!

M10 +.3's for the win!
mine leaked, stripped down the cylinder and gave it a good going over with silicone oil, now works fine.
