Default Leaky Nitrous Bottle

Ok well the install was a pain but i finished it. Now I have another problem. The fitting w/the nipple that connects the nitrous bottle to the nitrous supply line leaks. As soon as I open up the bottle it leaks from the very top. Any suggestions?

There should be a flat white nylon wsaher/seal in that fitting, make sure it's not
missing.

Never use teflon tape on a nitrous kit. That crap will break off and get in your jets and on your seals.

well just to update you all. i got a new fitting, apparently the one that came with the kit was stripped. so i went to the shop got a new one and now everything is cool. spraying joyfully all over the place. by the way i can't begin to tell you how many people said to use teflon tape. and how many times I told them NO!!
