[Gerry Zamora]

I have to agree they are inexpensive enough to replace and do u really want
to be worried about your water supply whip on the trail it we suck to lose
all your water.

IMHO is to replace them. Um a fan of the MSR Hydromedary. YMMV

there a way to seal this? I mentioned Plumbers Goop to a gal at REI and she
just about had a coronary (okay, slight exaggeration, but she clearly both
thought and felt that this was a terrible idea). I'd tried carrying the
bottle upright as I hiked, but the leak let air into it and interfered with
the suction through the hose (for some reason, my Sawyer filter doesn't suck
air well, so it tends to cause suction problems if air gets into the line).
I imagine this sort of thing happens regularly and that some of you have
solutions.
