Leak Fix?

My bottle is leaking from where you connect the actual bottle valve to the large adapter so you can connect it to 4aa or 6aa line. It is usually bronze and has a small seal/oring in the bottm. I tried with just the oring/seal, it leaks, then i put teflon past all over the ring and threads but it just bleww all of it out, any suggestions?

You aren't supposed to use any sort of sealant on -AN connections. You should replace the o-ring/seal.

Do you mean the big bottle nut connector that seals with the white teflon gasket thing? If so, just buy another one of those white teflon thingies (for lack of a better word). It's only a couple bucks. You shouldn't use any sealant on that connection either.
