| Just yesterday I got the Tippman A5 that I bought on ebay. This morning I tried to install a tank of Co2 but it would constantly leak at the tank adapter to point I could see the Co2 spraying into the room. The auction stated that it was "brand new" yet it came with this problem. I would like to know if an O-ring is supposed to be in the tank adapter, there is nothing there. Thank you. |

There is supposed to be an o-ring on the tank. If you're having leakage problems then drop a tank o-ring into the ASA and then screw in the tank. And just remember. Ebay auctions are just as truthful as an army recruiter. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

| Wow I did what The Guy suggested and it actually worked! I just put a tank's O-ring onto the ASA/tank adapter and there was no leakage. However, the tank does not screw in all the way, but I'm happy. Thanks! |

Was there an o ring on your tank to begin with? If yes then i think it will be damaged, This can happen when you take the tank off incorrectly.

was there an o-ring on the tank itself? and if it does, it may have been leaking cuz you didn't put oil on the tank oring before screwing on. ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |
