Make sure you cock the gun before you put the tank on or the valve can sometimes get stuck in the open position. Also, if you have the CO2 tank upside down when you screw it onto the gun, this may allow a lot of liquid CO2 to enter which can cause leaks or poor consistency.

Kamenter, You need to understand where leaks occur, the cause, and the way to fix them. Take a look at post #16 in Marker Trouble? Read Maintenance Archive for a primer on how the power valve goes together. Leaks in the gun can occur from only two sources. The screwed together gas fittings (the hose into the power valve) and inside the valve itself (the "O" ring on the plug and the sealing washer on the poppet valve). Only leaks from inside the power valve cause an audible leak of gas out the barrel. -------------
