OK ran my splitter for about 20 minutes the other day, to split some tree trimmings. First time running that long since the upgrade. I noticed some fluid on top of the filter, the part that slightly extends beyond the filter assembly. It was enough that it's probably leaking. How tight do the filters need to be? It was hand tightened, be IIRC I made it pretty snug.
Assuming I tightened it correctly, what would cause this? The directional arrow points toward the tank, the return line is new, 5/8" and goes from the valve (5/8" hose connection) to the filter, then to the tank, also a 5/8" hose barb (5/8"HB to 3/4"MPT). All new lines, new fittings, except out of the valve, and new filter and housing.
Can pressure be leaking inside the valve itself to over pressure this line? What would cause this and where would it be leaking? If so how can this be corrected?
I have heard mention of a by-pass valve, where is this located, and is it adjustable, and if so, how?
Sorry for all the questions, but figure if I get em all out at once, it will be easier to answer all at once.
