Please Help Filstar Canister Leaking!

[CandyM]

Please help!  I purchased an API Filstar XPL canister filter second hand.  It is leaking from the little slots along the lid.  Please advise!!

Is there an O ring? Inside the canister?

 

[CandyM]

Yes.

Check the o ring to see if it's seating properly. Also lubercate it with some petroleum jelly. See if that works. If not you might need a new o ring

I will give it a try.  Thanks!

No problem. Just make sure the o ring isnt twisted
