sometimes my GC extreme 250 psi valves dont close all the way and leak real slow, is there any way to fix them or do i need new valves?

I hear some people cleaning them with wd-40.. Might try that.. I hear that the 250's have that problem. If you end up going with different valves check out the Asco's cheap price and killer performance

I wouldn't use WD-40, it has a tendency to dry items out after it evaporates. Try some tool oil, it will stay lubricated and will still help you clean all of the parts up.

air tool oil or mineral oil , takem apart clean the diaphram and lube it up

if that doesnt work call up GC and tell them, theyl take care of you

I just met someone on Saterday who had problems with GC's sticking, I have Blitsluft valves for like 4-5 years now and never have had any problems.

Any valve will leak if it gets debris in it. Take the valve apart and clean the diaphram and spring out with some soapy water.DO NOT use wd40!!! Use non chlorinated brake parts cleanerto clean the body of the valve.
