A case of a busted o-ring.....

This time the o-ring in the CO2 solenoid valve decided to end its tenure and I ended up losing all my CO2 gases within the night.....

As I recall rightly, I had about 50psi  of gases and by the time I see the sunrise of the next day, all I see is 0psi on the gauge on the solenoid. This really puzzles me and of course as a good planted tank master, I proceeded to refill the gas and upon connecting the solenoid to the canister, all the gas came oozing out.

Had a quick check and found this.





















Thank god I have a replacement and it was promptly replaced.





















I also put in some CO2 tablets as a backup.





















Well, I had the current canister running full 8 months without refill and if this hadn't happen, I might go another 3 months maybe?

Now that suddenly seemed like a good idea.....

The car was on a slope and the rear wheel went into the arch.....

Looks like the offset has too much positive figures dialed in.....

Perhaps a 5mm or 8mm spacer would make things look great.....

Clutch pumps fail on me.....

I don't know which one failed me, the master or the slave pump but either way, the car is crippled.....

So, the car get to ride the carrier to the doctor.....to get the pumps replaced.....
