I suggest you not try to fix an n2 tank yourself. Nothing good can come of that. Take it to a pro shop. ------------- "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." |

Definitely take it to a shop. No question about it. ------------- "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." |

Also, learn grammar and spelling. Or at least make an effort. It makes it a LOT easier for us to read, and in consequence, help you. If we can't read it, or have to put effort into reading it, then we usually just ignore it or make fun of you. From what I gathered, your tank is either leaking from the regulator, or your marker is insane amounts of inefficient, and possibly needs to be tuned. And there is no Piranha out there that isn't CO2 compatible, as they are all stacked tube blowbacks (excluding Spimmy modded ones). ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Do you care about people giving you useful information? Because if they dont understand what youre on about, not only do you come off like a moron, nobody wants to take the time to talk to you and help you out. Take it to the shop, its as simple as that. Heres something to put the energy stored in a HPA tank into perspective (if you can comprehend it). It only takes 1/2 PSI of overpressure to blow the walls out of your house. Imagine what a 3000 or 4500 PSI tank would do if you screwed it up and it ruptured. Or imagine what it would do to your head when youre out on the field shooting and the tank blows up. -------------

Nonsense! You can fix it yourself! $20 or $30 is an outrageous price to ensure your safety as well as others!!! Be sure you have the right tools too! Hacksaw, .5" drill, claw hammer and vice. A propane or acetylene torch will be necessary to melt over the drill holes to make sure the tank is air-tight. -------------

DO NOT expect people to take their own time to help you if you won't take the time to write it out properly!
You are only making a fool of yourself. With bad spelling/grammar, many will either not want to help you, or not be able to help you because they can't understand what you are saying. You have as long as you want to make it look legible, so take 20 seconds to fix it before you post. DO NOT shorten words, it makes you look like a moron. -------------

Back on the topic at hand. When you test fired walking out to the field, was the gauge reading '0psi' or did it supposedly still have pressure in it according to the gauge?
It's quite possible that you have a blown reg, which would need to be replaced by a professional with the torque specs for the tank and reg. New regs run between $25-$50 depending on what brand, and installation should only run you around $25. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

You said it worked for one game? If it did not work at all and it was filled, it could be a low pressure tank. Read the bottle/reg and see if it says low or high pressure. -------------

Ya, $20-$30 is to much to spend to prevent 3000+ PSI pressure vessel blow up in your face |

UMMm im actually not sure if its high pressure or low pressure i have to ask my friend, i gave it to him to take it to a shop for me but before he does ill ask him. but what i think might need fixing is the the whole valve at the top. ------------- "Damn...Did that just happen?" -George, a bewildered teammate. |

If people that belong in a D&D club have rudimentary spelling and grammar skills, then kudos to them. You have a computer at your disposal with a full keyboard in front of you. You need not use shortcuts as if you're texting off of a cell phone. You'll get better results from other members here if you use decent capitalization, spelling and punctuation. If typing is the problem, take your time with your posts. Many of us find reading posts, such as yours above, taxing and tedious. -------------
