 Topic: CO2 tankPosted: 06 April 2007 at 3:04am |

well, the CO2 tank is full and still new as well as the gun is operating normally. Problem is the tank is not releasing gas into the nozzle under the pistol grip. The marker is a 98c without ACT. Can anyone give me tips and some advice about this problem? and I haven't tried lubing the o-ring on the CO2 tank nor the nozzle.

Some tanks have short pins and some ASAs have short depressors. I'd try a different tank out and see if it releases gas.

OR, there's a chance that the pin is being depressed too-far. try backing the bottle off 1/4 turn or so and see if that helps. Either way, let tippmann know and see if they can't get a new ASA out to you to alleviate the issue.

If it were the tank o-ring you would be venting gas as you screwed in the bottle to the ASA , maybe the pin valve on the tank isnt being depressed , have you tried another tank to see if the problem still exists ?

If you want to know if a tank still has CO2 in it without weighing it or using a pressure guage try depressing the pin valve with a thumbnail. I've found that if I can do that, it's time to refill the tank. |
