Has anyone else had problems with these resevoirs - http://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchan...OD&Product_Code=HDPE-BayRes&Category_Code=Res leaking around the fittings?

i have the 1/2 inch ID nylon barb fittings, and they keep leaking. It is very slow,1 drop every 12 hrs, but any leak is not good. I have reseated the fittings several times, and even put a heavy duty zip-tie around the neck of the resevoir to keep the inlet/outlets from spreading/ stretching. I have been using teflon tape on the threads, and have tried using Lots and a little and it still leaks about the same.
Anyone else run into this problem?
What was your fix?

AHHH yes!

How simple, Thank you for your wisdom.
I shall comply immediately.
 
Yes that worked like a charm and my system is now running nice, cool and quiet.

The resevoir came bare without any instructions and the fittings came with the teflon tape already on them. Glad I have these forums to go to. :thup:
