My compressor has 2 cylinder, one of the tubing is tight, the other is a little lose, and i can feel air leaking thru the connections a little.

I disconnected with the wrench and one side has rubber seals that is worn, the other didn't have one.

What can I use to replace the seals? these tubes gets really hot. Can I use pipe threading gel?

My compressor is Devilbiss Air pro 2

Thanks.

Thanks.Just have a service shop order the correct seals or look at the parts breakdown online and order them .I doubt pipe thread compound is going to be the right solution.Mike
