Where is it leaking from? Are you making sure the lever is closed all the way? Sometimes it can be a little difficult to close all the way

I had a Fumoto valve on my 2001 Dodge Dakota, which I recently sold, with over 100,000 miles with no problems. I currently have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler with a Fumoto valve that was installed 6 months ago and have had no problems. Is the leak through the valve or around it where it threads into the oil pan. Check the tightness at the oil pan. You may also have a leak higher up but its showing up at the valve. I've never heard of these valves leaking. Is there any visible damage to the valve. For example, the valve may have hit something. Finally, if the valve is leaking, check the manufacture's web site. There may be a warranty on these valves.

Is the valve leaking or is it leaking around the gasket. Make sure when you use this valve you use a new gasket before you put it on.

No, none from me with 5 valves so far. You can take it apart and clean it maybe and reassemble?

Hi, I don't have that problem with mine (I have 4 installed). there are only two things that will make this valve leak. The mating surface inside the valve is damaged or the mating surface on your oil pan is somehow compromised.

Dear Kathryn,As long as the variation is within 20 PSI, you should be ok. Also do you have a backflow preventer installed. If not, please do. we do sell Backflow preventers as well so let us know if you want any recommendations.Also you should consult with a certified installer/professional in your region just to be on the safe side.David

It could be that the valve is stuck. My manual suggests making sure that it is clean. If it is coming out around the edges, then you need to check the sealer ring and make sure it is in good shape and seated properly.

Make sure you flip the valve to the hoses and remove them 1st I havent had any trouble with mine.

I am not the retailer, only a customer. I bought only the valve system. Warning! It does leak. Use it ONLY outside.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

Mine definitely doesn't leak. Check to make sure the inside valve is locked in place and that the lid is screwed on correctly. If all of those are done then I would request a return/exchange.

I've had mine for a couple of years, worked good until now. Now the valve will not work and there is no way to get inside to repair. I would have expected the valve to work a lot longer than a couple of years.

Make sure your valves are in the right position of they are anyway lose you will lose air. Valves are very touchy but the will hold air if they are in the right position. I had no problem with mine after figuring out the valve adjustment.

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

The only option I can think of is to replace the seal around the valve, but I would check on the Bialetti website to see if there is a way to contact them with this question.

Turn that valve manually on for 5 minutes. You are going to turn on were it say manual it have for 5,15,30 etc minutes that way it will get fix. I have that problem at that time that I put the timer.

We've had ours for 2 months and no leaking problems. Will definitely check valve assembly from time to time.

The valve is unreliable. It leaks when I shake it. I wouldn't buy this bottle again. Hope this helps.

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.
