I figure i would post here, because it gets more attention. 

Here it is ladies-

Today, at the very end of the day my tank was filling, but after i would turn the air off it would all leak out.  My friend i went with told me that the fill nipple had dirt in it, thus allowing air out.  My dad and I were going to take off the fill nipple, clean it, and put it back on.  Is that a good idea, and are there any other problems that could be causing this?

You have a nipple problem huh...thats what breast surgery is for. O wrong kind of nipple problem. I wouldn't mess with tank regulaters, or nipples. Let a certafied air smith do work on it.

Precisely what I was thinking. Don't mess with the tank: have a cerified airsmith do it.

My buddy who i went pballin today with said he would show me and take it all apart with me, and clean it.  I figured i could always head up to a local shop and have them do it too, but its better to know what your doing instead of just having it done for you.

You can take the fill nipple off and clean it or replace it or whatever you need to do. Just make sure you use teflon or something else to seal it when you put it back on

NO DONT USE TEFLON TAPE!

use red loktite, teflon tape wont hold up, and make sure that babys completely sealed with the loktite too, you dont want your nipple flying off and killing someone (hehe, wait, thats not funny? sorry)

Okay, so i took the fill nipple off, cleaned the small moving part inside with steel wool, put a slight amount of oil on it to decrease wear adn friction, cleaned out the nipple, put it all back together, and put some leak lock (bascially lock tight but in another name).  Will that do it?  I know it was the nipple because when i would go to fill it, and then take the fill hose off the nipple would turn white cold while it was leaking.

Eh.. oil = bad sometimes.

There have been some reports of people putting oil in thier fill nipples to stop leaking, then go fill thier tank and have the oil combust. Just sayin ive read it somewhere, so maybe consider that.

Well it was only a drop, although that is all it could take to do it.  I mean, my dad was there to help, but i see what your saying.  Also, about the poster above this, i forget who it is, but im going to take it to a local PB shop and have them either fill it or fix it/fill it.  I mean, it may just be the O-ring, and i figure i would just get about a dozen more, because they are only 50 cence each, although i doubt i will encounter this for a while.  Better to be prepared though.

I don't think it was a good idea to use oil in the nipple area. As someone said it can actually combust.

Well how long does oil stay there until it would evaporate?

Sorry that I can't answer. All I know is its not good to get oil in the nipple because the friction could cause the oil to combust.

Are you using Compressed air or CO2? I have never heard of any fires due to oil being exposed to either one of these. I have heard of fire resulting from industrial or medical grade oxygen having oil contamination. Placing oil in the valves is asking to attract more dirt and grime; although I doubt the likeliness of a fire or explosion. It would be advisable to have an air smith or another professional qualified in servicing high pressure containers to fix your leaking valves it will most likely save you money in the long run.

Ah...co2 tanks don't have fill nipples because they use a two way valve. The air goes in the same way it comes out. HPA tanks use a one way valve thats why theres a fill nipple. Since you don't know what your talking about I'll try to explain it to you. When a HPA tank is filled alot of friction is being built up, thats why the tank is warm after it is filled. If oil is in the nipple or leaks into the tank that friction could ignite the oil causing an explosion. How do you think matches work. the friction between the sulfur and little brown paper causes a chemical reaction making the match light. It would be the same thing with the oil. The friction could cause the oil to ignite.

Well, oil in it is useless anyway since it'll just get shot out. I do recommend you warn the guy filling it about what you did- just imagine your tank becoming a rocket- the valve isn't going to fly out but instead the gigantic tank is gonna shoot off like an RPG. Just make sure you loc-tite (or whatever you used) the holy living bejeesus out of it. And tell the guy, so he can point the tank toward the ground not toward his foot.
