The Pin valve on one of my CO2 tanks is leaking after shooting with it
and unsrewing it. Is it worth it to try to fix or should I just get a
new one? Thanks Edit: I just remebered I also have an on/off switch I bought off ebay. Can I install this myself as it would fix the pin problem. ------------- Camo'd 98C Remote Polished internals Dbl trigger 14" J&J Ceramic Barrel Rocket Cock 2 Trigger Slop Mod 12V Revvy 03' Dye stikies R/T Drop Forward |

Leaks at the pin valve are usually caused by a faulty o-ring that the valve pin seats against, or perhaps ome trash that has become lodged between the o-ring and the pin. To check the leak thoroughly, the tank valve has to be removed and the o-ring removed and inspected. |

If this is the case, don't do it yourself, bring it to a paintbal field where the people know what they're doing. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Take it to a qualified technician to be worked on. Air tanks should
NEVER be repaired or modified from home unless you absolutely know what
youre doing.
