Well, I just got my monster and it is leaking from the spot where you would plug it in the QFD. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Not enough info. Does it leak when the tank is full? when pressurized and pumped? when in or out of QFD? There isnt enough details to accuratly answer the question.

This gun leaks when there is pressure and being pumped. I Don't pump it in the QFD and it doesn't matter if it is full, it leaks when the only water is in the cylinder part not the reservoir and when there is water in the reservoir. What else is new, I got this off of ebay.

sounds like the check valve to the QF is busted. Unless you want to replace it with a PVC one, your best bet is to epoxy the QF closed.

When I got it off ebay I didn't get a QFD so I am just going to send It back and get my money back. Now all I have to do is hope for the best.

This is not normal of eBay. Most people on eBay are pretty honest because they want to keep their Feedback score spotless. Check out mine, I'm a blue star now!

I am repairing my friend's monster X, and the endo fo the QFD broke off so now whenever u pump, water spills out the end. Do you think that If a salvage a QFD off a SC triple charge and somehow glue it onto the monster X's that might work?

You could salvage another soaker's part to add to it, but I think it would be easier to seal off the QFD spot internally. Sure, it would disable that feature, but I also am sure it will work. Adding another gun's QFD may be complicated. Take pictures and post them here if you would like to try it.

I tried it last night and got annoyed with it so I just filled it up with PVC cement.
It still leaks, so I'm going to get some Epoxy today and try it again, at least it shoots.

I might have to do the same thing to Belisaurius's Monster X. He gave it to me to fix. I've gued everything but it looks like the QFD thing is broken.
